About Us
Illinois Growth Enterprises is a not-for-profit corporation that has been providing comprehensive vocational services to persons with disabilities since 1970. Our success is due in large part to the ability to tailor programs to meet the diverse needs of each person who becomes part of our work force.
A key component of the program involves using Productivity as a rehabilitation tool. Years of success have proven that work leads to greater independence, heightened self esteem and happier lives. Through vocational training at Illinois Growth Enterprises, our workers are able to build work habits, special skills and employment histories that enable them to be successful here as well as outside the work environment. Many of our workers also move on to careers with other employers in the community.
