Biographical/Historical:     The Occupational Access and Opportunity Commission (OAOC) was created within the Department of Education by the Florida Legislature in 1999 to provide occupational access and opportunity for employment and career options for Floridians with disabilities. The OAOC consists of 16 members, with the Commissioner of Education as chair. It is the designated State agency for purposes of receiving Title I Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) funds. The major functions of OAOC include: prepare and submit the state vocational rehabilitation plan; serve as the state governing authority of programs administered by the Commission; and develop and implement a five-year plan to promote occupational access and opportunities for Floridians with disabilities. The OAOC is responsible for consulting stakeholders and holding public hearings.
Summary:     This series documents the activities of the Occupational Access and Opportunity Commission, including the delivery of vocational rehabilitation and employment related services to individuals with disabilities; the mediation of problems with OAOC services (the length of processing time and the review of qualifications and stands for counselors);  and the development of policies and procedures for management of Vocational Rehabilitation programs. The records consist of meeting packets; meeting minutes; transcripts of meetings; drafts of By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation; orientation manuals; and requests for proposals.  The records include the meetings of the Full Committee; the Budget, Policy, and Planning Committee; and the Compliance and Oversight Committee.
