Vocational Rehab honors employers, achieves goals

By Tiffany Thompson, News Editor

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Vocational Rehab showed appreciation to the employers they work closely with through an Employer Appreciation Day recently.

This was the fourth year the celebration was held, the last three of which have been in partnership with the Albemarle JobLink Career Center.

“This is our way of showing the employers that we work closely with that we appreciate them. We know it’s modest, but we want [them] all to know that we appreciate what they do to help find employment for those with disabilities,” Unit Manager Mary Walls said.

During the event, Catherine Lambert with Britthaven of the Peidmont was honored with the Employer of Excellence award for the work she does in helping those with disabilities find employment. She has worked with Britthaven for 15 years, the last four of which she has work alongside Vocational Rehab.

The Albemarle unit of Vocational Rehab also celebrated reaching many of its goals for the past year, which ended in September. The regional office gave the Albemarle unit the goal of assisting 535 new clients or referrals. They actually helped 644, fulfilling their goal by 120 percent. They were also given the goal of 302 action and services, and achieved 359, or 119 percent. For successful closures, the unit was given the goal of 151, and achieved 87 percent or 131.

“If you look at the state’s results, Albemarle’s unit is right on par. The state achieved 92 percent. This unit has something to be very proud of, but they would not have been able to meet these goals without the participation of [the employers],” Assistant Regional Director Kent Millsaps said.
