Senator Elaine Phillips Tours TRI Business & Career Center

Senator Elaine Phillips recently toured the TRI Business & Career Center in Westbury. The center assists individuals with disabilities in reaching their highest level of independence through vocational and educational services.

“We are extremely fortunate to have organizations such as TRI Business & Career Center who work directly in our communities, placing individuals with disabilities in internships and jobs and providing opportunities for independence and success in the workforce. Senator Elaine Phillips said. “Thank you to Andrew Cohen and the dedicated staff at TRI for inviting me to tour the facility. It was a pleasure to learn first-hand of the many wonderful programs and services offered.”

The center offers a business and trade school program, a transition services program for young adults and other opportunities for people with disabilities to obtain internships and jobs. These services are designed to assist an individual in identifying personal and professional goals and include vocational assessment, counseling, training, remediation, day habilitation, production, and support services

TRI collaborates with the Town of North Hempstead’s “Project Independence” initiative, which provides light maintenance and cleaning services to aging residents of the Town, in an effort to ensure a safe and clean environment for those who wish to remain in their own homes.  The company also manufactures and sells environmentally friendly cleaning products.
