Today, our Supported Employment team celebrated the success of everyone in their program by hosting a lunch at River City Brewery, followed by a fun scavenger hunt at Museum of World Treasures. Some of the individuals who attended have only been at their job for a few months, while others are celebrating 25 years at their job. We are so proud of each one of you! #StarkeySupportedEmployment #CelebratingSuccess

Job seekers practice interviewing with members of the Supported Employment team at first, then move to interviewing with other Starkey employees to adapt to people they may not know. #StarkeySupportedEmployment #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth

The Passport Program area in our main building has a new look, with polished concrete floors, new paint and wainscoting and divided areas that will reduce noise in the large room. Today, participants in that program got their first look at it - after they walked (or rolled) the red carpet and enjoyed refreshments, of course! 🎉 #CelebratingProgress #PassportReveal #CheersToNewAdventures
