See our employees hard at work through our Workforce Development (CIE) program! (Left to Right: Latoya Garris at Starbucks, Sharon Hennigan at Cosmic Cafe, Stephanie Kirby at PEPBowl, and Amelia Wells at Cosmic Cafe! Our programs are designed to provide job skills assessment and training as well as tailored job placement with support all the way from our experienced job coaches. We know what a critical role a job plays in increasing self esteem and independence.

That’s why we work hard to ensure all our individuals receive equal access to the pathways that lead to successful employment: detailed training and an established network of local and regional employers who call on us when they need well trained, reliable workers for the long term.

 Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC).  The WOTC is worth up to $2,400 for the year depending on the categories listed below.  The WOTC gives employers an incentive to hire individuals in targeted groups who have significant barriers to employment such as disabilities.

Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit

• The credit is based on the category of workers, the wages paid to them in their first year of work, and the hours they work.
• An employer must first get a determination of eligibility from their state workforce agency before they can apply for the tax credit.
• To receive the tax credit, the employer must submit an application form to the IRS along with the business’s or owner’s tax return.
