EMPLOYABILITY
Funded thanks to a generous donation from MacKenzie Scott, and launched in
February of 2022, EmployAbility is a groundbreaking program that gives individuals
with multiple documented disabilities or barriers the tools to thrive. Structured around
two weeks of free classroom training and ten weeks of paid on-the-job training,
this program allows young people aging out of the Special Education system to gain
meaningful skills with the goal of finding long-term employment. This achievement
is the latest in a long line of programs and facilities that help Houston’s people with
disabilities to become tax-paying members of society.
