kollage SQUARE™ Knitting Needles are designed to be ergonomically suited to your hands, decreasing stress and strain for those who love to knit. Your purchase is supporting our community with inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Every kollage SQUARE™ needle purchased enables our parent organization Career Services, to expand employment opportunities for individuals with barriers by working with employers and community partners. By providing specialized supports, we help people pursue their work goals. We are truly knitting together and connecting the world of needle arts/hobby craft with an inclusive social mission.
Career Services embraces the connection between knitting and our employment services; metaphorically speaking knitting and job development share four recurring themes; starting something new, repeating a pattern (skills development), changing things (coping with job expectations/changes), and creating an ending (finding employment).
Over the years Career Services has been able to service thousands of individuals who face barriers to employment, to provide them with training, real work experiences, community placement opportunities, and one on one coaching.
We are “knitting lives together” by assisting barriered individuals to practice and master the stitches they use daily to create employment.
