DOR-AJCC Collaboration Project
Building a More Inclusive Workforce in California
LMU supports a statewide effort to strengthen how California’s public workforce system serves individuals with disabilities. Through the DOR–AJCC Collaboration Project, funded by the California Employment Development Department (EDD) and the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), LMU provides technical assistance and developmental evaluation to 18 Local Workforce Development Boards across the state.
This initiative focuses on improving coordination between America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs) and DOR to better support individuals with disabilities in accessing employment services, training, and related supports. While progress has been made, barriers persist, highlighting the need for stronger alignment, clearer processes, and more coordinated service delivery across regions.
As the technical assistance and developmental evaluation provider, LMU works alongside project operators to support implementation through facilitated planning, shared learning, and ongoing guidance. This includes helping local areas strengthen partnerships, align systems, and build approaches that are responsive to local needs. The goal of this work is to support more coordinated, accessible, and effective workforce services, leading to improved experiences and outcomes for individuals with disabilities across California.
