It also works with Wisconsin employers to recruit and retain workers.DWD Secretary Amy Pechacek said the new name reflects the program’s focus on helping people achieve their employment goals.“WisAbility represents an exciting new chapter in our ongoing commitment to helping Wisconsinites of all abilities achieve their employment goals,” Pechacek said. “While our name is changing, our mission and dedication to the people and employers we serve remain as strong as ever.”The program’s new tagline is “Where Ability Meets Opportunity.”DWD said the rebranding process began in early 2025 and included focus groups, surveys and feedback from program participants, employees and community stakeholders. The department said the effort did not create additional costs.The new name is intended to provide a simpler and more accessible identity than “vocational rehabilitation,” which DWD said does not always clearly communicate the services available.WisAbility also will use the term “participants” instead of “consumers” when referring to people receiving services.The program’s services and mission will not change. Website and material updates are ongoing, and existing web addresses will redirect users to the updated website.More information is available at dwd.wisconsin.gov/wisability.</div></body>
