This is the eleventh successive three-year accreditation for the non-profit that operates out of Escanaba and Marquette. CARF says the accreditation is the result of what it calls a “rigorous peer review process.”
Founded in 1969, Lakestate provides employment for people with disabilities.
CARF International announced that Lakestate Industries has been accredited for a period of three years for its Community Employment Services: Job Development and Employment Supports, and Organizational Employment Services programs.
