Business Outreach Initiative

The DVR Business Outreach Program’s vision is to develop long-term working relationships with private businesses and public organizations that result in successful employment outcomes for DVR job seekers. Thanks to all DVR staff, DVR is Colorado’s leading placement organization for people with disabilities. The business outreach team assists DVR staff by providing a bridge between companies and talented job seekers, helping both connect and succeed.

In addition to educating businesses about the benefits of using DVR as a recruitment resource, the business outreach team prepares and delivers valuable disability awareness training to assist employers in learning about hiring and employing persons with disabilities, proper disability etiquette, and how these can positively impact the business’ bottom line. Other services to employers include information and guidance about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and job accommodations; consultative services such as job retention for a person with a disability or who has recently become disabled, job analysis, and adaptive technology. Finally, we can provide information about possible DVR financial incentives and tax credits a business may receive for hiring a person with a disability.

If you have any questions, please contact Larry Gehring, Business Outreach Coordinator at 303-866-5890.
