Collaborative Employment Innovations helps Employers

Collaborative Employment Innovations provides services to employers to match them with qualified, productive employees. Every employer has different needs and job tasks that need to be completed. Collaborative Employment Innovations can help identify those tasks through Job Carving and help an employer identify to maximize their business while diversifying their workforce. Collaborative Employment Innovations will support a job seeker throughout employment or until they can complete all necessary tasks independently to employers specifications. This is usually accomplished through supported employment with a Job Coach. 

CEI Works To Identify Ways:

A.  Maximize Productivity

B.  Better Manage Costs

C.  Create Loyal Employees

D.  Successful Relationship with New Hires

E.  Identify entry level jobs that are overlooked, done by outside contractors, or highly paid professionals

Employee Matching

Collaborative Employment Innovations evaluates the employment needs of a business and matches job-seekers accordingly. We never recommend job matches that don’t meet employer needs or the goals of our job-seekers.

Workforce Evaluations

Some tasks just not getting done around the workplace? Struggling to get everything finished during your busy week? Our Workforce developers can work with you to discover how your business could be more efficient and how Collaborative Employment Innovations might be able to help.

Job Coaching and Support

Collaborative Employment Innovations supports all of our job-seekers with holistic career support. We will help to ensure that our job-seekers continue to be a good match for a business and have the support they need to succeed from day one.
