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: The Villas at the Atrium.
The Villas at the Atrium, is a senior living community that offers Independent Living services. It is Located in Boulder, Colorado near its sister community, Wynwood at Ridge Point, an assisted living facility for seniors.
These Brookdale communities offer senior living solutions for seniors looking to eliminate the daily demands of home ownership and those who may need some day-to-day assistance with personal needs.
The Villas at the Atrium is CORE/Labor Source’s newest partner, working with us since June. Two individuals served by CORE/Labor Source are currently employed there, including Meredith, pictured below.
Jeffrey, the kitchen manager at The Villas at the Atrium, says that Meredith is such a joy to have around. He is beyond pleased that he can always count on her and loves that she makes other employees smile all the time.
Thank you, Villas at the Atrium, for your commitment to your community and to providing employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
