ICD Institute for Career Development

NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION

Since its founding in 1917, the Institute for Career Development (ICD) has helped hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities transform their lives – most recently through high school transition services, fully accessible GED preparation and testing, certification-based career training, and related employment services.

Despite 107 years of effort to identify and address challenges in the systems intended to provide equitable services for people with disabilities, the Institute for Career Development (ICD) has entered into dissolution and, effective as of September 27, has ceased providing services. We are but one among many who have and will continue to close their doors unless more can be done to create greater transparency, oversight, and funding for disability services in New York, from both the private and public sectors.

We are humbled by the tremendous efforts of our students, alumni, and families. We are grateful for the support of our friends, donors, and funders. And we are eager to identify suitable recipients of any assets remaining after ICD’s closure, so that our legacy may live on through peer providers and other likeminded organizations. 

Please direct all questions, comments, concerns, press inquiries, or interest in seeing support for individuals with disabilities carried on in our absence through your own work to info@icdnyc.org or 212-585-6000.
