Sam and Judy Rodriguez - Caring Circuit Institute (CCI) | Senator Wilk’s May Small Business of the Month
Sam (Founder/CEO of Caring Circuit Institute) and Judy Rodriguez (CFO/Director of Human Resources and Finance) are a dynamic team working together to advocate for developmental disabled adults. They created and co-founded Caring Circuit Institute (CCI) in 2019, which began as a dream and a vision to help adults with developmental disabilities with a simple mission to help them obtain a job which they can grow into a career and support an independent lifestyle. Sam and Judy set out on their quest and Caring Circuit Institute (CCI) was established three years ago. One year into opening their doors, the pandemic hit and businesses were forced to close their doors. But Sam and Judy managed to survive and maintained their staff. Three and half years later, they are growing exponentially with now 30 employees and expanding to service new areas. CCI’s service , resources and career coaches guide their clients with training, further education, healthy life management skills, encouragement, with plenty of devoted love and support. CCI set out to help people obtain jobs and this dynamic duo say, “CCI is creating a culture of fulfillment and acceptance through integrated employment for adults with developmental disabilities.” Click here to read more out CCI.
