Business Connections
Welcome to Business Connections at Virginia Commonwealth University!
With over 30 years of experience, Business Connections at VCU bridges the gap between employers looking for qualified and reliable employees and a pool of prescreened job applicants with disabilities that have the proper supports in place for long-term success! We focus heavily on understanding and meeting the specific needs of both jobseekers and employers to make the best job matches possible.
Through our ongoing efforts and collaboration with individuals with significant disabilities, DARS and other stakeholders, the program continues to provide a valuable demonstration of how community based competitive employment can become a reality for all individuals who desire to work.
