WXOW.COM: WisAbility: Wisconsin's new name for its disability workforce support program
The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development has rebranded its Division of Vocational Rehabilitation as WisAbility, accompanied by the tagline "Where Ability Meets Opportunity." Developed through public input and focus groups at no additional state cost, the new identity aims to better communicate the program's mission of connecting individuals with disabilities to meaningful employment. Along with the name change, the department is adopting the term "participants" instead of "consumers" to reflect a more collaborative approach, while its core services and dedication to supporting workers and employers remain unchanged.
