MSI Community Employment Services

MSI

Beginning in 1988, Muskingum Starlight Industries (MSI) introduced our community employment program. This program provides the opportunity for our employees to become a contributing member of your workforce, while allowing them to build self-esteem and confidence in their own ability. Services MSI provides that makes this program successful are listed below:

Job Coaching - A job coach works with your new employee while they are leaning skills necessary to maintain their job. Job coaching also assists your new employee in developing the skills necessary to become independent in his/her job.

Support/Services - Support Services assist your new employee with the supports he/she may need to be successful in his/her new position. Since each new employee’s needs are different, support services are tailored to meet each individual’s specific needs.

MSI Community Employment Service Belief statement

We believe the role of adult services is to:

  • Provide individualized, person-centered habilitation.
    •
  • Respecting the individual's right to become an independent and responsible citizen in their community.
  • By creating opportunities, individuals will be able to realize their hopes and dreams; and
  • Through the involvement of the individual, their family and friends, that we can provide success in achieving goals while maintaining a high level of community participation.

Muskingum Starlight Industries does not discriminate in the provision of services or employment base on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, ancestry, or age.
