Cleveland Vocational Industries Inc. is a private 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation dedicated to serving adults primarily living in Cleveland County, North Carolina for more than 30 years!

We are a community-based organization serving adults that have a diagnosed intellectual or developmental disability. We believe that ALL people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are defined by their OWN strengths, abilities and inherent value...not by their disability.

We plan the direction of the organization based upon input from Training Associates, parents, customers, service providers and the community. Our philosophy of service is to act as a facilitator for change in a person’s life. Our job is to help guide a person in meeting the goals that they set for themselves. We have been providing opportunities and training for individuals with barriers to employment since 1985.
