The Whole Story

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) and its Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) are proud to announce the launch of The Whole Story – a new publication series highlighting the real impact of OVR across the Commonwealth.

Each edition shares firsthand stories from OVR customers, showcases local partnerships, and provides employment data for every Pennsylvania county. These stories reflect how OVR empowers Pennsylvanians with disabilities through skills training, education, and opportunity – helping them achieve independence and thrive in the workforce.

Together, OVR staff and training programs are opening doors to experience, building confidence, and ensuring that every Pennsylvanian has the opportunity to contribute to their community and strengthen our Commonwealth.
