My next door neighbor is a hard working electrical engineer. Unfortunately he was injured in a car accident and can no longer perform his work duties. The job that he has requires a great deal of walking, standing and crawling into confined spaces to work on the electronics. The injuries he received to his back and knee in the car accident no longer allows him to do these things. Suddenly at age forty nine he is faced with the need to find a new career.

He did not fully understand what I was talking about. I explained the department of rehabilitation services was designed to work with individuals like him that needed to switch career paths do to a change in abilities.

If it is a career that requires training or education, the department of rehabilitation services has funding available to help with this education.
