Businesses Recognized For Supporting KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program

     Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. (KSI) recently presented Industrial Work Crew Program Appreciation Awards to Delaware Veterans Home, Intervet, Inc., Kraft Foods Global, Inc., and Playtex Products, Inc.

     KSI, a vocational rehabilitation organization celebrating 45 years of providing services, provides training and employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Delaware Veterans Home, Intervet, Inc., Kraft Foods Global, Inc., and Playtex Products, Inc. have each provided community-based employment opportunities through KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program.  This program is a successful match for businesses who want to have a particular job completed at their own location.  A work crew consists of a KSI supervisor, and a group of program participants who work on location at the host company.

     In addition to a plaque presented by KSI, these businesses also received a Senate Tribute sponsored by Senator Gary Simpson and a Tribute from the House of Representatives sponsored by Representatives George Carey and Bob Walls.  For more information about KSI, contact Alicia Hollis at (302) 422-4014 ext. 3015 for a personal tour. For more information about KSI’s Industrial Work Crew Program, contact Dan Robinette at (302) 422-4014 ext. 3024.
