A meeting planned for Grand Junction will offer the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed transfer of the state vocational rehabilitation division and what that means for work force services for people with disabilities.
The meeting is set for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Mesa County Workforce Center, located at 512 29 1/2 Road.
The meeting is among a series of events conducted throughout Colorado following state legislation transferring the division from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Labor and Employment.
“The meeting will continue an important dialogue between the Department of Labor and Employment and the disability community,” said Ellen Golombek, executive director of the department. “The information shared with us at the meeting — and what we have learned at other meetings — will help guide our work in developing legislation that will complete the transition and ensure its success.”
