Let VR Work for Your Business.

You’ve got customers to serve, production quotas to make, deadlines to meet. You need skilled, dependable people. 

But the last thing you need is a time-consuming hiring process—which could still leave you empty-handed. That’s where we can help.

VR assists individuals with a variety of skills and abilities with finding good jobs. To businesses across North Carolina, we are a reliable source of trained applicants. We’ve helped thousands of employers reduce the dollars and time they spend on hiring. 

Our counselors, evaluators, job placement specialists and engineers provide follow-up services and customized consultation.
