These services include job development and placement, job training, and rehabilitation technology. In fiscal year 2007, 881 people with severe disabilities entered competitive employment and stayed employed for a minimum of 90 days after receiving BRS services. Of those, 697 were served by the General Vocational Rehabilitation program, and 184 were served by the Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
