Building Bridges Between People & Communities

In keeping with UCP Colorado's mission of promoting personal choice and self-fulfillment, Employment Works provides a unique and exciting job placement service for persons with disabilities and other challenges.

• Roughly 4,000 Coloradoans, each year, access at least one of Employment Works’ many services. 

• Employment Works is one of few Employment Networks that works with the Ticket to Work program.  Over 100 Ticket holders are currently receiving job placement services.

• Over 100 youth 14-25 with disabilities and other challenges receive comprehensive skills development, leadership and empowerment services through a two-phased program that results with paid employment and work experiences. 

• Employment Works operates the Colorado Work Incentive Planning and Assistance program with the Social Security Administration.  Every year, thousands of individuals throughout the state learn about the opportunities available to go back to work and not lose their benefits.

• In times of recession, layoffs and hiring freezing, Employment Works has established and continued to build our business relationships in the community to ensure wide choices for employment for all Employment Works participants.
