SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY REHABILITATION

THE SUCCESS OF SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY REHABILITATION INDUSTRIES (SEKRI) CAN NOT BE MEASURED IN TERMS OF DOLLARS OF REVENUES OR NUMBERS OF CONTRACTS FILLED. THE TRUE SUCCESS OF SEKRI IS MEASURED IN THE NUMBER OF LIVES POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATION.AS A 501(C)3 NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, SEKRI'S GOAL IS TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SIGNIFICANTLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALS IN THE APPALACHIAN REGION OF THE UNITED STATES. LONG RECOGNIZED AS AN AREA THAT LAGS BEHIND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IN EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT, THIS REGION IS POPULATED WITH THOUSANDS OF PERSONS SEEKING A WAY TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. THE CYCLE IS DIFFICULT TO BREAK - EMPLOYERS GENERALLY WILL NOT COME TO AN AREA WHERE THE WORKFORCE IS UNEDUCATED AND UNTRAINED. YET WITHOUT JOBS, THE WORKFORCE CAN DO LITTLE TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING TO FIND.
