LAB’s core values of respect, honesty, and integrity foster a culture of personal growth and independence, and it is recognized by state and national agencies—including the National Association for Employment of People Who are Blind and the National Industries for the Blind—as a leading provider of rehabilitative services. As an equal‑opportunity, drug‑free employer, LAB remains committed to inclusive opportunities for all candidates.
