Seeing ENGAGE students grow in confidence, strengthen their independence, and work toward their goals is incredibly meaningful. 💚

But the impact doesn't stop with the student. Hearing from families about the pride they feel as they watch their student grow reminds us just how far that impact can reach.

We're grateful to be part of each student's journey and to support them as they build the skills, confidence, and connections to create their own path forward.

This Texas Beacons of Excellence (TBE) testimonial highlights the Klein ISD Bridge Center, where transition-age youth with disabilities are building the skills and confidence they need to prepare for the world of work.

Through wraparound support and opportunities to apply skills in real-world settings, young people can build independence, discover their strengths, and explore what meaningful employment can look like for them.

We’re proud to highlight the work being done to help young people with disabilities envision—and work toward—futures that are meaningful to them. 💚

We’re so proud and honored to have been part of Debbie’s journey!

Her story is such a powerful reminder of what can happen when we support people with disabilities, recognize their strengths, and believe in their ability to reach their goals. Creating pathways to meaningful employment isn’t just about opening doors — it’s about providing the support, encouragement, and opportunities people need to walk through them.

We’re grateful to have supported Debbie along the way and to see her share her story and testimony. Her journey is a wonderful example of why it’s so important to invest in people, remove barriers, and believe in the potential of every person to build the career and future they envision for themselves.

Thank you to Goodwill Dallas and WINGSPAN CREATIVE for beautifully capturing and sharing her story while highlighting the meaningful work you do to create pathways to employment for people facing barriers. And a special shout-out to Dennilson Wvalle for working alongside Debbie, believing in her, and making her dream come true!

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)! 💼

Observed each October, NDEAM is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities in the workforce and continue advancing access to meaningful employment and career opportunities.

People with disabilities continue to experience unemployment at a higher rate than people without disabilities—highlighting the importance of removing barriers, expanding opportunities, and connecting employers with talented job seekers.

Through our work at UNT WISE, we’re proud to advance competitive integrated employment
and support people with disabilities in achieving their employment goals.

This month, we also invite you to hear directly from people with disabilities and their circles of support about their experiences with employment through our Texas Beacons of Excellence testimonials:
