We've had a busy few months that we're proud to share with you. 

In October of 2009 we met with Governor Douglas to update him on our activities and to share our findings on programs that are having a major impact in advancing our mission. 

In particular, we spoke of a youth employment program held at Copley Hospital Systems in the summer of 2009.  We also explained how the Job Developer Coalitions are coming together to provide employers with a highly effective and efficient means of tapping into the workforce of individuals with all abilities by streamlining the process for working with job developers.

 To learn more about all of these activities, please click on this link to our Abilities newsletter and take a look at our January 2010 issue!

Finally, we're also excited to share that we ended the year completing an expansive strategic planning process, and that we are entering into 2010 with a series of focused objectives and strategies that will take us that much closer to our vision of         "barrier free employment for all Vermonters".  Stay tuned for updates!

Thank you for visiting and please come back often!
