Current Narrative:

The Vermont workforce development partners have evaluated the one-stop delievery system to ensure that all employment education and training programs are available and accessible. Collectively, partners are providing resources to individuals in need of specific and specialized assistance in overcoming barriers to employment. In Vermont's comprehensive one-stop location, in Burlington, all services are provided through a combination of physical and virtual colocation.

Vermont’s career resource centers are fully accessible for individuals with disabilities and have access to a variety of specialized equipment to help these individuals. The State’s One-Stop certification process for the career resource centers includes a review using the American’s with Disabilities Act checklist for Readily Achievable Barrier Removal. Furthermore, all of the partner programs require accessibility in both rented and state-owned properties.
