Employment Programs

The Work Activity program provides training and contract work for individuals with disabilities. Staff trainers help these individuals develop or improve their work skills, which helps increase each individual’s earning potential. More than 70 local businesses contract with Starkey to complete a variety of jobs, including small parts assembly, metal recycling and bulk mailings. In addition, mobile crews can perform such tasks on site at local companies.

The Supported Employment program provides placement, training and ongoing support services to individuals with disabilities in regular and integrated employment settings within the community. This program assists individuals in choosing, obtaining and retaining the employment which meets their individual needs.

Starkey, Inc., founded in 1930, is the oldest community-based nonprofit in Sedgwick County, Kansas, serving individuals with intellectual disabilities. Through its business services, employment, recycling, residential, life enrichment and case management programs, Starkey creates possibility in the lives of more than 450 people with disabilities.
