"In fiscal year 2008, the lab will expand to include software that will allow anyone to access the computer, regardless of
the disability.

A new cardboard baler. With the addition of the baler, new opportunities and ideas are opening up in recycling. PI bales all of the cardboard waste at our worksites as well as some from the Person County Recycling Center. In addition, PI also shreds and recycles paper, proving that we are definitely "on the verge" of expansion in our recycling efforts.

A new computer lab. PI is ready to offer online GED classes to our employees. In fiscal year 2008, the lab will expand to include software that will allow anyone to access the computer, regardless of the disability. Our employees need to have access to and experience all of the latest technology in order to continue growing to their highest potential.

A new program of service. The Department of Social Services is partnering with PI to offer a Work Experience Program for Work First recipients. The program is community based and provides participants with successful work experiences to enhance their vocational skills. PI expects to start the program in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

A new floor plan. PI will execute plans for a new production floor layout to increase efficiency and safety for the PI Main production area. The plan, now in the beginning stages, will logistically improve the work floor and production operations.
I am excited by all the new innovations that have transpired over this fiscal year. I look forward to seeing all the new ideas and opportunities unfold and expand. PI staff are working hard each and every day to ensure the success of all these new opportunities. PI is "on the verge" of becoming something new and different. Stay tuned as we move to the next level.
