Welcome to the WBLN

The Business Leadership Network is a state-wide initiative sponsored by the State of Wyoming - Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The BLN has established 6 local steering committees comprised of business, government and community leaders - all of whom share a common interest in promoting employment opportunities & community access for people with disabilities. Participating communities include Cheyenne, Evanston, Bridger V alley, Rock Springs, Lander and Riverton. Development efforts to establish a new BLN in Casper shall commence Fall 2006.

The BLN is your resource to recruit, hire and train employees with disabilities.

We can provide you with the information and resources you need to tap into this valuable emerging market. Whether your business has five employees or five hundred, the BLN tailors all services to meet your individual business needs.
