Today is the first day of fall and what a beautiful day with sunshine we have been given. What do you like to do on a fall day?
TF1 was out visiting Farmer Whites pumpkin patch !
We want to congratulate Jamie on her new job at Red Mesa Grill. With the help of the GTI Community Employment Department Jamie has been receiving job coaching to help support her in her new role. We love companies who are willing to work with us to employee individuals with disabilities . Community Integrated Employment (CIE) is a service we offer to those interested in working independently with or without supports in the community.
If you are a business looking for employees and would like to discuss how GTI can possibly connect you to your next rock star employee like Jamie give us a call. We are not a staffing company so we do not charge you for helping you find the employee you need, we also provide the supports to the individual at no cost to you.

Action needed notice: please contact your legislators and ask them to extend , and even better yet , make permanent the $2 hr wage increase for direct care staff.
The direct care staff at GTI have benefited from this wage increase and we believe it is so well deserved and far overdue. We also recognize that the staff in the homes also deserve this and it will be a shame for them to lose this increase. Please help today by calling your legislators and supporting the continuation of this wage increase.
