This is to announce that the CNMI Office of the Governor - Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) is conducting business and employer engagements, outreach, education and awareness as well as residential visits to existing consumers and/or interested applicants regarding the programs and services offered by OVR throughout the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota.

 

As mandated by  OVR's granter agency, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the Executive Director and other delegated employees are responsible to conduct these services on all three islands of Saipan, Rota and Tinian in order to develop innovative plans and activities that build relationships with employers, community groups, faith-based organizations, non-profits , and governmental agencies, private and public sectors and seek reasonable accommodations  into employer communications  to maximize consumer employment opportunities, job search and job placement for people with disabilities . The OVR vehicles may be seen at the above aforementioned entities throughout this time and until further notice.

 

This public notice serves to address the previous reports on the OVR vehicles and employees being seen at different establishments to Office of the Public Auditor (OPA). During these visitations, OVR has been placing consumers to jobs and trainings to help achieve their vocational and employment goals. We are proud of all the partnerships we have made with a diverse community of employers and we look forward to continuing to do more for people with disabilities.

This is to announce that the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) will be rescinding a previous public noticed dated March 8, 2021 regarding the temporary stop of attendance for external meetings. The public notice stated that "due to the upcoming submissions of the Internal Controls (IC) and the Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA) Reports that are mandated by OVR 's grantor agency, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the OVR staff has prioritized these matters in order to maintain compliance, as well as address the large increase of consumer cases in the office."

 

OVR is proud to report the near completion of these required reports much earlier than expected. Therefore, OVR will be able to resume attending external meetings with our Disability Network Partners (DNP) and all other external meetings, presentations and other affairs that require and/or request OVR's attendance and presence.

 

For any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at (670) 322-6537/8/9 or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
