On Friday, the IU1 Empowerment Team had the privilege of visiting the Hiram G. Andrews Center and Commonwealth Technical Institute—and what an inspiring experience it was! We were blown away by the incredible programs and opportunities offered through the Commonwealth Technical Institute (CTI). CTI is dedicated to preparing Pennsylvanians with disabilities for meaningful careers through individualized, affordable education and training that meets the needs of today’s workforce. Beyond academics, HGAC’s specialized staff provides comprehensive supportive services that empower students to thrive in competitive employment settings. It’s a model of inclusion, innovation, and impact. Thank you to the HGAC team for your hospitality and for the work you do every day to uplift and equip students across the Commonwealth! 🩵 Don Martin, Ed.D Dr. Kristin Szewczyk Jenny Lent Lisa M.
