Opportunity for Every Ability

Good People. Ready to Work.

Looking to build a more inclusive workforce? Think good people are hard to find? Think again. People with developmental disabilities are some of the most reliable, competent and dedicated employees in the workplace today. For more than a decade, Belco has been successfully matching employees with disabilities who are eager to contribute and succeed to employers looking to fill positions.

We provide job coaching, on-site support, and ongoing follow-up so businesses get the reliable team member they need, and the individual gets the opportunity they deserve. We focus on ability and work hard to find the right match between the employee and employer each and every time.

Hire an Individual Through Belco

Destanee's Story

Destanee began working with Belco’s Community Partnership Coordinator, Jeannette Bush, to explore job opportunities. “Jeannette helps me feel more comfortable as I look for a job. She makes me feel welcomed,” Destanee shared. When Destanee learned about an upcoming job fair hosted by OhioMeansJobs, she felt anxious about attending and nervous about meeting employers. On the morning of the event, Jeannette called her with encouragement and reassurance that she would do great. That support made all the difference. At the job fair, Destanee proudly shared: “I was confident and proud of myself for coming today and interviewing.”
