The commission approved certification of one new community rehabilitation program (Inspire Tech Inc.) and re-certification of seven existing CRPs for participation in the Purchasing from People with Disabilities program.
The Texas Workforce Commission approved staff recommendations to certify Inspire Tech Inc. as a new community rehabilitation program (CRP) and to re-certify seven existing providers for continued participation in the Purchasing from People with Disabilities program.
Juan Garcia of the Vocational Rehabilitation division presented the item, listing the providers recommended for certification and re-certification: Inspire Tech Inc.

The approvals allow the named providers to participate in the program and continue providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities under the state purchasing program.
