Are you a person with a disability who wants to work, is looking for a job or needs help keeping your current job? If so, DVR is the right place for you!

Youth
If you are a youth thinking about what's next after high school, we can help you with job exploration counseling, work based learning experiences and so much more.
Business
We are committed to helping our business partners find candidates who are skilled, loyal, and committed to your success.
"I found a passion and longing for the world...I can make a difference and I can help people help themselves, which is even better than doing for them because they can do for themselves in the future, it's fantastic and I love it, and it's all thanks to the supports that I've gotten from DVR."
-Ty Smith
