Welcome to the Erskine Green Training Institute . . . where dreams of employment for people with
disabilities begin. A one-of-kind postsecondary
program and lab, the Institute provides vocational
training for a variety of jobs in the hotel, food service
and healthcare environments. It, along with its
attached 150-room Courtyard Muncie at Horizon
Convention Center hotel, is an immersive learning
environment.
The growing
demands of
hospitality and
related industries
require a trained
and qualified
workforce.
The Institute
is poised
to meet that need
by providing hands-on learning opportunities for
people with disabilities. Our goal is to give individuals
who are ready, willing and able to work, skills that
they can take back to employers in their home
communities.
Community LivingStudents will live at the Courtyard Muncie and train at
either the hotel, Thr3e Wise Men Brewing Co. or IU
Health Ball Memorial Hospital while they complete the
program. Supervised evening and weekend stays and
outings are part of the well-rounded activities offered.
To enhance their independent living experience,
students will learn how to utilize public transportation
to access all that the Muncie community has to offer:
the public library, shopping centers, local college
sporting events, museums and more.
CurriculumThe curriculum, under development with Courtyard
Muncie, IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital and
Thr3e Wise Men Brewing Co., plans for intensive,
multi-week sessions that focus on specific areas of
study. Professional instructors deliver both course
instruction as well as hands-on training and internship
opportunities allowing students to gain valuable
employment experience.
Students will have the opportunity to select
coursework in areas that best suit their experience,
skill set and interests, whether in food service,
hospitality or healthcare support.
Courses are expected to begin in January, 2016,
and will be multi-week, full-day sessions, Monday
through Friday, with weekends included for building
independent living skills. Look for more details at

In 2013, unemployment among individuals with disabilities was 82.4%.
