321 Coffee

Helping people with disabilities build careers

321 Coffee teamed up with Lenovo to create new job opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by enhancing accessibility in the workplace with Lenovo technology.

“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.”

Helping people with disabilities build rewarding careers

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.

Customer Problem

How can you make a sophisticated, multi-step process like coffee roasting easy for people of all abilities to learn and execute safely and with confidence?

Lenovo Solution

Lenovo helped 321 Coffee develop guides for its employees with disabilities, running on Lenovo ThinkEdge servers and Lenovo Tab Series tablets.

Business Impact

Supported by Lenovo, 321 Coffee launched a new roasting facility staffed by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities—creating new jobs and opportunities.

“Lenovo has empowered us to provide employment and learning opportunities to people with disabilities and help them thrive in the workplace.”
