Real Work for Real Pay.

 

The “Texas Beacons of Excellence” Project will provide Texans with disabilities an alternative path away from subminimum pay and toward a competitive workforce. The goals of this project are to develop a replicable model and scalable plan to be used across the state, and to move at least 10 percent of Texans with disabilities currently receiving subminimum wages into Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) over the next 5 years.
