“Working at 321 Coffee provides our roasters with opportunities to learn new professional skills. For instance, learning how to use computers and tablet devices, manage emails, collaborate, and support others—these are skills that they can apply to their personal lives to build even more independence. Lenovo has empowered us to provide employment and learning opportunities to people with disabilities and help them thrive in the workplace.”
Only 22.5% of people with disabilities in the United States are employed. 321 Coffee is on a mission to turn the tide on the status quo and worked with Lenovo to make its cafés and roasting facility accessible for employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
