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: St. John’s Episcopal Church.
St. John's is the downtown Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colorado. Their congregation is made up of people of every generation who come from a wide variety of backgrounds - families, children and youth are rapidly growing in numbers.
Over the past year, St. John’s Episcopal Church has employed two CORE/Labor Source participants at various times.
Thank you, St. John’s Episcopal Church, for your commitment to our community and for providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Thank You Thursday
