Mission: To create employment opportunities for diverse populations with barriers to employment, especially those with low incomes, through innovative services aimed at meeting the human resources needs of employers and job seekers.

CEI Staffing Services, Inc. (CSSI) is a nonprofit subsidiary of Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (CEI) and offers an array of human resources and employment programs creating partnerships between CSSI and businesses throughout southern Maine that benefit individuals with barriers to employment. CSSI provides programs and assistance to people that offer both transitional employment and access to competitive full and/or part-time jobs. CSSI serves as a liaison to community-based organizations that provide supportive services. Our goal is to make  employment opportunities and support services available to individuals that assist them in fulfilling their personal and career goals.

CSSI operates a staffing service known as Managed Work Services™. Like many temporary agencies, CSSI contracts with businesses to fill high turnover entry-level positions. Unlike other temp agencies, CSSI hires people that have a difficult time breaking into the job market. People with disabilities, non-English speakers, those receiving public assistance, and the homeless can find work through CSSI.
