Labor Source 30 for 30 - Amcon

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

To honor 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 individuals served by Imagine!, 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: Amcon.

Located in Longmont, Colorado, Amcon offers a complete end-to-end solution for all your foam needs. Amcon warehouse over 80 classifications of foam, ready for any design or manufacturing project you have.

Over the past year, Amcon has employed 13 CORE/Labor Source participants at various times. They have been employing individuals served by Imagine! since 2011.

Thanks to everyone at Amcon for their commitment to our community and for providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
