Tired of competing for the same candidates and losing people faster than you can train them?

The Blue Star Works Cohort helps employers tap into overlooked talent pipelines, strengthen onboarding, and pursue job training funding.

Blue Star Recyclers is the leader in Denver for hiring talented people with disabilities and other barriers to employment and we want to share the value of our model with other innovative employers.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO:

  • Stabilize your workforce and reduce turnover.
  • Expand recruiting into new, dependable talent pools.
  • Improve onboarding so employees ramp faster and stay longer.
  • Explore grant funding that can offset training and upskilling costs.

WHAT YOU GET (REAL SUPPORT, NOT THEORY)

  • No-cost Workforce + Funding Assessment: Clear recommendations for hiring, retention, onboarding, and funding readiness.
  • Practical plan you can implement: A defined Statement of Work to recruit from hidden talent pipelines and pursue training grants.
  • Monthly 60-minute cohort sessions: Tools, training, and peer problem-solving with employers doing this work now.
  • Peer learning + accountability: Learn what’s working (and what isn’t) without wasting months figuring it out alone.
  • Blue Star tour + year-end celebration: See inclusive employment in action and celebrate results with cohort members.
