Program accomplishments

  • H.E.A.R.T. (Housing, Entrepreneurship and Readiness Training) Vending and Concessions is a vocational training program that focuses on food service, vending machines, concessions, catering, and customer service. The most unique aspect of this program is the on-the-job training component, where H.E.A.R.T. transports participants to job sites located throughout the region and provides supported employment to participants. Participants also receive hands-on instruction in job-related tasks such as counting money, labeling product, inventory, and other activities. These activities will be conducted in small groups and 1-on-1 as needed. Trainees, clients with intellectual disabilities, get paychecks of at least $8 per hour once they have been trained.
    Expenses $1,026,404 · revenue $206,693
  • From August to May, H.E.A.R.T. collaborates with Houston Independent School District, Galena Park Independent School District, and Channelview Independent School District in vocational training programs designed to address gaps in the special education system. This self-contained program provides classroom education and vocational training to better prepare graduating seniors to enter the workforce after graduation. The school districts transport, provide meals, and administer the required standard classroom education for the students while H.E.A.R.T. implements the job skills and employment training in food service, food supply chain operations, vending, and concessions, to help these students be "job-ready and give them work experience before they graduate. Continued on Schedule O.Learning how to prepare hot meals, chop fruits and vegetables, and operate a pallet jack and forklift are just a few of the activities that H.E.A.R.T. students learn every weekday through the program. This program gives students experience in a wide variety of environments without having to coordinate transportation to different places or have many different supervisors.
    revenue $60,220
