Labor Source 30 for 30 - Rock Bottom Restaurants

Labor Source, the supported employment division of Imagine!’s CORE/Labor Source department, is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. 

To celebrate this important milestone, each week I am publicly thanking and recognizing Labor Source’s many local business partners. 

Supported employment offers people who have a disability the opportunity to develop vital job skills and become active participants in their communities. The benefits extend far beyond helping our clients, however. Businesses using our services are able to reduce recruitment and training expenses as they benefit from a diversified employee pool. Partnering with CORE/Labor Source is a “win-win” situation that is beneficial all around. 

We are very grateful to our business partners who have demonstrated their commitment to Imagine!’s mission by employing CORE/Labor Source participants. 

Today’s Labor Source 30 for 30 partner highlight: Rock Bottom Restaurants.

This is from their website:

Rock Bottom always has been and always will be about the beer. Every tank we tap represents hours of planning, experimentation, ingenuity and precision by your local Rock Bottom Brewmaster. While we pride ourselves on the remarkably consistent quality of our beers, we're just as dedicated to letting the personality, experience and particular expertise of each Brewmaster shine through. 

Over the past year, two local Rock Bottom Restaurants have employed 35 CORE/Labor Source participants at various times. Both have been employing CLS participants since 2002.

Thank you, Rock Bottom, for your commitment to your community and to providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
