Partners & Referrals

Work With DCDC

DCDC partners with DVR counselors, schools, workforce centers, employers, and community organizations to connect people to the right program at the right time.

Why Partner With DCDC?

DCDC fills a gap that most systems cannot fill alone. We provide the foundational skill-building, education persistence support, and workforce continuum services that help people move from where they are to where they want to be.

Our programs are built on the Agilities™ framework from The DeBruce Foundation — a research-based approach to identifying and developing the work-related strengths that lead to sustainable employment.

We work alongside your clients, students, and participants — not instead of you. DCDC is a complement to the services you already provide, not a replacement.

Built on the Agilities™ Framework

DCDC's programs are built on the Agilities™ framework developed by The DeBruce Foundation. Agilities are groups of work activities people use in every job. Your strongest Agilities show the kinds of work you currently enjoy and do well.

The Agile Work Profiler™ is a free tool that helps participants discover their Agilities and connect them to career pathways. DCDC uses this framework to ground our coaching in each participant's actual strengths — not just their deficits.
