>
> "(B) requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, secure, retain, or regain employment advance in, or regain employment that is consistent with the individual's strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice ."
>
> As Dick mentioned earlier, VR services have been able to serve those who want to advance employment for many years. I think it was the 92 amendments that introduced career advancement as a reason for VR services. WIOA strengthens the concept even more strongly. Without a doubt, VR can and should serve those who want to advance in employment and who meet other qualifications.

> Jim is correct. The original law used the words, "obtain, retain, and advance in employment", so it is not a WIOA change at all. One of the new WIOA measurements is how many people were enrolled in college as a way to advance themselves in employment. Or some wording like that. So providing services for career advancement is perfectly legal. And I was a state agency director too, so that makes two of us.

> Career advancement is well within the scope of WIOA. I would focus on the vocational goal, establishing a link between the goal and the services it would take to achieve that goal. My guess is that it all fits nicely within WIOA. Thing is, the vocational goal is what drives everything, and the goal is the client's to set after we've provided information for the decision.
> We don't get to justify or rationalize the goal as professionals. The client gets to make that decision. The professional guides, not decides.
>> From there, it's just a matter of linking the service to the client's goal.
> Depending on the details in the situation, I would proceed with the career advancement.
