We partner with our clients, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and employers to train, motivate, and retain highly motivated employees with disabilities, providing expert support to create accessible, welcoming work environments.
We contract with clients through Colorado DVR to support their employment goals from application to onboarding to job-site coaching.
We meet and exceed Colorado DVR's high standards of Competitive Inclusive Employment (CIE).
Colorado Inclusive Employment works with clients, and their families, to discover the skills, strengths, and limitations of each individual. So often, families tell us that past experiences have led to discouragement or a sense that valuable work is outside what can be hoped for. Our mission to "build careers, not barriers" is essential to our approach to seeing the strengths and potential in every client.

Colorado Inclusive Employment believes in the work we do. We help people with disabilities build the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to find and keep good jobs. We believe in inclusion, fairness, and the power of meaningful work to change lives and strengthen communities across our state.

We work directly with the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Our goals align with the Colorado DVR mission:

Colorado Inclusive Employment partners with individuals with disabilities and their families to navigate the challenges and embrace the opportunities that come with meaningful employment.


We started Colorado Includive Employment with a simple goal in mind: to partner with clients and their families to secure meaningful employment for those with disabilities. We work with the Division of Rehabilitation in seeking out highly motivated individuals with disabilities to provide expert support and to create accessible, welcoming work environments.
