Fritz Kleve contacted our agency after being told that she would not benefit from further education at TVI in order to become employable.

Fritz completed her 6 month certificate course in a computer aided drafting program which DVR approved and assisted her with, however, found herself not able to be employed in this field due to lack of on the job experience. Fritz requested that DVR assist her financially in completing an associate's degree at TVI in the Business Communications Field, specializing in Multimedia. Her vocational rehabilitation counselor disagreed.

We represented Fritz at the administrative review level of appeal. We requested that DVR assist her financially with her education, transportation, and medical expenses.

Our efforts were successful and Fritz will be graduating with an associate's degree from TVI in a year and a half.
