Philadelphia Inquirer Op-Ed regarding funding for PA DOL’s Office of Vocation Rehabilitation (PA OVR)

Op-Ed piece from 6/27/19 Philadelphia Inquirer – This piece advocates for the allocation of additional funding for the PA OVR which provides access to training and job placement to disabled Pennsylvanians.  This is a timely piece given the topic of our last (and fabulous) 5/21/19 meeting. Several companies of Liberty ILG members have hired workers who have benefitted from training funded by PA OVR. 

Liberty ILG member companies may want to send letters to the administration to express their support for additional funding for PA OVR.
