Important forms and documents
Disabilities, which cover a wide range of conditions from arthritis to autism, present barriers to employment for a large percentage of Nevada residents. Our mission is to overcome those barriers by helping Nevadans with disabilities find jobs, and helping those who are already employed perform more successfully through training, counseling, and other support methods. Our services also include helping students transition from high school to employment or higher education.
If you have a physical, intellectual or mental condition that makes it hard to find and retain employment, or need help enrolling in an educational program, you could be eligible for our services.
