VABIR, the Vermont Association of Business, Industry, and Rehabilitation, is a non-profit agency dedicated to helping Vermonters facing barriers to employment find meaningful work opportunities. Established in 1979, VABIR serves as a bridge between the private sector and skilled workers with disabilities and other life barriers. This involves providing work experiences, on-the-job training, temp-to-hire options, and various resources to connect qualified job-seekers with employers.

VABIR also focuses on educating and raising awareness about working with individuals who have disabilities, while offering free accessibility surveys for businesses and consumers. Moreover, they assist employers in creating job accommodations, retaining employees who become disabled while on the job, and navigating employment areas related to disability issues. Through their services, VABIR aims to ensure appropriate and successful job matches for everyone who wants to work, one job at a time.
