CI
Business Employment Services provides an excellent avenue
for a strong working partnership. Local businesses can hire valuable,
quality employees with disabilities, and feel great about providing
them with a job where they can use their unique skills – and contribute
positively to our community!

Employer Services
Our team of professional Employment Consultants work to match the skills
and interests of job seekers with your specific requirements. There is
no fee to the employer, and we take care of all applicant screening and
referrals. CI staff are available to provide additional support if needed.
Assessment Services
Columbia Industries also partners with local business to complete trial
work experiences. These assessments offer our participants the chance
to perform job duties in a real work environment. Companies participating
in an assessment assist with the skill evaluation process and are not
responsible for wages or liability. Trial work experiences help to evaluate
a job seeker's potential for successful employment. |

Job-Seeker Services
We help job seekers obtain and maintain employment through:
- Job Development & Placement, Retention and Intensive Training

has obtained employment, on-the-job coaching, support services, and retention
assistance may be available to help the employee learn their specific
job duties and have a positive outcome for both the employee and employer.
Benefits Planning
CI is currently the only Certified Rehabilitation Program in the area
with a Certified Benefits Planner on staff. We now offer Benefits and
Work Incentives Planning & Assistance.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
"We have used Columbia Industries on a couple of occasions. They
were very attentive and quick to address any concerns there might be.
They took the time to train new employees to insure that they would be
successful in their jobs. It has been a pleasure working with Columbia
Industries and I would recommend them to others."
