Students at Branson H.S. put their skills to the test during a hands-on Job Olympics event, exploring different career pathways in a fun, interactive way.

With a variety of workstations, students selected their top areas of interest and rotated through activities, gaining real-world experience as they went. At our birdhouse assembly station, students used hammers, nails, and pre-cut wood to build their own creations.

ITI was proud to be part of the experience—serving as a judge, offering guidance, and encouraging students as they worked. We had the opportunity to connect with about a dozen students with disabilities at our station, each bringing focus, creativity, and determination to their projects.

Events like this are a great reminder of the value of hands-on learning and early career exploration. The future workforce is already hard at work!

ITI was proud to participate in the first of several upcoming events with the Taney County Partnership earlier this week. Tuesday's event at Hollister High School gave Competitive Employment Advisor Elisha Waymire and Vocational Instructor Kristina Frazier the opportunity to introduce students to the services we provide in the community and share what our work looks like day to day.

Connecting with students about real career paths is important to help them explore options and see the many ways they can make an impact in their communities. We appreciate the chance to be part of the conversation and look forward to the events ahead!

How many employers would give their right arm for perfect attendance on their teams?!

At Big Cedar Lodge, Brendan C. made it happen! Brendan, who works in the laundry department and receives ITI employment support, earned Perfect Attendance in February—a reflection of the dedication and reliability he brings to work every day.

Showing up consistently matters, and Brendan is setting a great example. Congratulations, Brendan, on this awesome achievement!
