Overview

Mission

TEC’s mission is to assist individuals with disabilities to become independent, productive members of the community by providing job readiness training and placement into competitive employment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Transistion program: transitional employment consultants operates a community based vocational instructional program (cbvi) for various school districts in Washington county, Pennsylvania. The program's primary purpose is to provide opportunities for students to learn work related skills in real world settings. Tec also operates a private academic school licensed by the department of education, called tec education center. The school provides a unique individualized learning environment where students learn required academics and learn necessary work skills for the future.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 85% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
