Kaleidoscope Supported Employment Forum, June 30
Calling all Cartersville-Bartow area business owners and employers…
Have you ever thought about giving back to your community by employing an individual with an intellectual or developmental disability? Did you know there are benefits to your business when you do?
Join Highland Rivers Health at our Supported Employment Forum, Thursday, June 30, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Cartersville Civic Center, 435 W. Main St., Cartersville, to learn more.
The Kaleidoscope Supported Employment Program from Highland Rivers Health helps adults with developmental disabilities secure employment in the community with local businesses and other organizations. Kaleidoscope works with businesses in the community to identify unmet needs and then matches the business with individuals who are ready and able to do the work.
Individuals from the Kaleidoscope program are all over the age of 18 and are able to work in a variety of work environments including light industrial, outdoor, retail, office and more.
Benefits to employers include:
- Tax incentives
- Work-ready employees who are enthusiastic and ready to learn
- Employees who take your work seriously and give you their best
- Onsite job coaching from Kaleidoscope employment specialists
- The ability to reallocate existing employees to other priorities
- Knowing you are helping an individual build self-esteem, practical skills and be a productive member of your community
