News and Events

This section of the OVR site includes information about news and upcoming events regarding the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and its many partners. The goal of this section is to keep the public, advocates, employers, and other disability-related organizations up-to-date on current events, conferences, exhibits, and much more so that by working together, we can assist Kentuckians with disabilities to obtain suitable employment.
