CI Business Employment Services provides local companies with an excellent avenue for hiring valuable employees with disabilities. This partnership is an excellent avenue that provides quality employees for our local businesses and successful employment for individuals with disabilities.

Employer Services

Our team of professional Employment Specialists 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, plus 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:

  • Career Counseling
  • Job Search & Work Skills Training
  • Skills Assessment
  • Job Coaching
  • Job Development & Placement

Job seeker skills and interests are matched to specific jobs in our community in an effort to ensure successful placement.

"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."
