Global Connections to Employment

Global Connections to Employment (GCE) is a nationwide team providing jobs and training for people with significant disabilities, including military veterans. We empower our team members with independence and self-sufficiency and help match them to fulfilling careers, from facilities maintenance to food services and other business lines in between. Working with contractors at military bases and commercial businesses, GCE is one of the country’s largest employers of people with disabilities under the AbilityOne program.

As a comprehensive human services organization, we can bridge gaps unlike any other agency.

Substance misuse and mental health issues can potentially overlap into child abuse, abandonment and neglect. That’s where our child welfare teams at FamiliesFirst Network can step in to help ensure the safety of children while our Lakeview Center behavioral health care teams work with the parent’s to receive recovery services. FamiliesFirst also serves foster children with special needs. As children and families’ needs expand and contract, our teams collaborate to adapt and develop innovative solutions in serving Gulf Coast families. We also serve persons with disabilities who are seeking meaningful work and independence. For those who need it, Global Connections to Employment (GCE) provides job opportunities across a diverse pool of business lines, from facilities maintenance to food services and commercial businesses to health care environments.

Because of LifeView Group, people with mental illnesses and addiction disorders can get the treatments they need, people with disabilities can find employment, and children who have experienced abuse or neglect can know safety and stability.

Trauma-informed care

The human spirit is remarkably resilient in overcoming barriers, but we all need a little help sometimes. That’s why our team practices trauma-informed care, which is woven into our culture, helping us build trust with the people we serve. Trauma-informed care helps broach sensitive topics while ensuring inclusion, empathy and non-judgmental interactions. Through this approach, our team asks permission, offers control and finds support for each individual. We get to know each person’s history without being invasive. Learn more.
