Freeney RCS and Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency meet quarterly to assist with beneficiary hand offs when VR cases are closed. Employment Networks (EN) and State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies share similar goals of serving Ticket Holders on their path to obtaining and sustaining employment. Rather than competing against each other, these two types of service providers can collaborate towards mutual success through Partnership Plus.
