CEDAR KNOLLS — CARF International announced that Employment Horizons has received a three-year agency-wide accreditation for its programs. The latest accreditation is the eighth consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that the international accrediting body, CARF, has given to Employment Horizons.
This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows the organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards.

The CARF surveyors found employers are “extremely happy and satisfied with the services offered” by Employment Horizons, as well as with the training and communication provided by staff. Program participants are “very pleased with the support that is offered and appreciate the information that is provided to help them to create self-sufficiency in the community.”
