Training Programs
If you are assigned to work with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) to develop a training plan, your VRC will help you understand the vocational process and the options available.
Once the training plan is approved by L&I, there are 2 options:
- Option 1 is to participate in the plan approved by L&I.
- Option 2 gives you the ability to develop a plan on your own.
You must use licensed, accredited, or otherwise approved training programs with your Option 1 or 2 benefits. We have resources to help you find these programs:
- Eligible Schools & Programs. Find out if a school is licensed or accredited or how a training program may qualify for approval by L&I.
- Career Bridge (www.careerbridge.wa.gov).
- Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (www.sbctc.edu).
- If you find a school or training program that isn't licensed or accredited, it still may qualify. See Becoming a Training Provider for more information.
- Contact Karen Ahrens, 360-902-4529 to find out if a school is already an L&I training provider.
