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.

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."
