The VRA continues to work with employers to identify opportunities for integrated competitive employment and career exploration. For this purpose, it has Support Centers and Employment Modalities (CSEM), whose staff is responsible for working with employers. They contact new potential employers, as well as those who employ people with disabilities for the purpose of promoting employment opportunities and making their facilities available for career evaluation and exploration activities.
CSEMs also organize training activities for employers, through which their knowledge is increased regarding the population with disabilities and the benefits of using them, among other topics. Also, participate in job fairs, where information is provided on the services of the VRA and qualified candidates are marketed.
