Join Our Team- It’s a Win-Win!

Over 100 local businesses in partnership with STAR, Inc., are providing employment to qualified candidates with disabilities.

STAR provides training and job opportunities to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities so that they are able to participate with greater independence and self-sufficiency in the community. We offer employment training and placement, as well as opportunities to work in area businesses.

STAR matches employer needs with job seeker skills. STAR provides on site support with job coaches. STAR develops an on going partnership with employers providing follow along services. There are no fees or costs for STAR employment services.
