WorkQuest staff Taylor Pena, Deidra Davis, Erynn Harrison, Madison Stark, and Melissa Beaty with Kelvin Moore of the Texas Workforce Commission and State Use Program customers during the Horizon Industries training and tour
On Thursday, March 26, WorkQuest and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) partnered to coordinate an East Texas State Use Training and tour at Horizon Industries (East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind).
Horizon Industries is dedicated to creating meaningful employment opportunities for Texans who are blind or visually impaired across East Texas. As a participating CRP, Horizon Industries provides high-quality products to state customers, including safety boots and shoes as well as a variety of paper products used throughout government operations. In addition to employment, the organization plays a critical role in supporting independence by offering training and services that help individuals adapt to and thrive while living with vision loss.
The training brought together customers from across the region for an opportunity to learn more about the Purchasing from People with Disabilities WorksWonders Program and gain insight into available products and services. Attendees also participated in a facility tour, where they experienced firsthand the meaningful work being performed and the impact the Program has on creating employment opportunities for Texans with disabilities. WorkQuest extends a special thanks to all the customers who attended, Kelvin Moore of the Texas Workforce Commission, WorkQuest staff, and Horizon Industries for supporting a productive and informative training.
