Disability Employment Services in Milwaukee
Accessible Career Options helps people with disabilities find work in Milwaukee and helps employers hire inclusively. We support people using Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) services, private pay, and Ticket to Work for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients.
DVR: Division of Vocational Rehabilitation • SSI: Supplemental Security Income • SSDI: Social Security Disability Insurance
Job Placement for People with Disabilities
Disability is not a barrier to work — a hiring process that ignores ability is. We work with adults living with physical, intellectual, developmental, sensory, and mental health disabilities, as well as people facing other barriers to employment, and we place them in real jobs with real Milwaukee employers.
You can start through a Wisconsin DVR referral, private pay, or the Social Security Ticket to Work program. See our job seeker services for the full picture.
Job development and placement
We build a job goal with you, then approach Milwaukee employers directly on your behalf — resume, applications, interview practice, and warm introductions to hiring managers who already work with us.
On-the-job coaching
A job coach can be on site with you while you learn the role, then step back gradually. Off-site coaching continues for the parts of work that happen away from the job — schedules, transportation, and communication.
Job readiness and skills training
Soft skills, workplace expectations, computer and apps for employment, and work-based learning experiences so you walk in prepared.
Benefits and earnings guidance
For people receiving SSI or SSDI, we explain how earnings affect benefits and which work incentives protect you as you start working.
Inclusive Hiring in Milwaukee
Milwaukee employers tell us the same thing: open roles, thin applicant pools, costly turnover. Inclusive hiring answers all three. Partnering with ACO gives you a prepared candidate, a job coach who trains alongside them, and a point of contact who knows your workplace.
Pre-screened, prepared candidates
Every candidate we send has worked through a job goal, readiness training, and an honest look at the role. You interview people who want the job and understand it.
Support after the hire, at no cost to you
Our job coaches train alongside your new employee and stay available afterward, so your supervisors are not carrying onboarding alone.
Disability awareness consulting
Practical guidance on accommodations, accessible interviewing, and inclusive team culture — built for real Milwaukee workplaces, not a slide deck.
Retention that pays back
Inclusive hiring reduces turnover and widens your applicant pool in a tight Milwaukee labor market.
