Wisconsin’s ongoing commitment to competitive integrated employment (CIE) for individuals with disabilities is producing promising outcomes according to the newly released 2025 Joint CIE Report from the Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Department of Health Services (DHS), and Department of Public Instruction (DPI). The agencies also have developed and published a 2026-2027 CIE Biennial Plan that outlines specific objectives and guiding principles for future cross-agency collaboration.
