What happens when belief meets opportunity?

Lives change.

TACT was incredibly honored to welcome the Daniels Fund team for a tour of TACT and to share the continued growth, vision, and impact being created through hands-on education and workforce development for the neurodiverse community.

This relationship, built over more than many years through the leadership of Becky Mershon, VP Programs, Operations & Interim President, TACT and Kevin Tarrant, Board Chair, has been rooted in something far greater than funding. It has been built on belief.

Belief from Hanna Skandera, President & CEO, and the entire Daniels Fund team that individuals deserve not just support, but a hand-up, the opportunity to improve their lives, discover purpose, and eventually help others along the way.

That belief helped make the TACT Carbondale location possible, expanding opportunities for hands-on learning, workforce training, and meaningful futures for students and families.

At TACT, we often say that when someone believes in a student, confidence begins to grow. When a community believes in a mission, futures begin to change.

Tomorrow’s workforce at TACT is being built today, by minds the world once overlooked.

We are honored to be featured on page 16 of Crane Hub Magazine | March 2026 | Issue 3 | Volume 2. READ MORE: https://cranehubmagazine.cranehubglobal.com/books/jvjf/ =1

TACT is excited to explore a powerful collaboration with BedRock Technology and their innovative OverWatch system, connecting advanced manufacturing, workforce development, and real-world career pathways for neurodiverse students.

With proprietary targeting software, a physics-driven damping system, and a 30x HD optical camera, OverWatch brings precision, safety, accountability, and innovation to the skilled trades industry.

What excites TACT most is the opportunity for our students to be part of the future of manufacturing, technology, safety systems, and hands-on innovation.

We are especially grateful to Wade Bradshaw and Phillip Walker of BedRock Technology for their leadership, vision, and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the next-generation workforce.

The future workforce is not coming.
It’s already here.

Today, we celebrate the hearts behind every milestone, the mothers.

The ones who never stop believing.
The ones who comfort through the hard days, cheer through the victories, and love with endless strength and grace.

The ones who see light and possibility in their children long before the world can.

To every mom, grandmother, caregiver, and mother figure in our community, thank you for the countless ways you show up with love, even when no one is watching.

Your love leaves a lasting impact.

WHY TEACH, TACT WILL TELL YOU.

This week, we celebrate our teachers, from Englewood to Carbondale, TACT. Thank you.

To our incredible instructors and educators, the impact you make is not limited to a classroom or a single moment. It lives in every student you empower, every skill you teach, and every future you help build.

What you give our students goes far beyond knowledge, it is confidence, purpose, and belief in what’s possible.

Your work is not just for one week. It is felt every single day, all year long.

You don’t just teach trades.
You don’t just guide students.
You change lives.

At TACT, you are not just teachers. You are the game changers.

Thank you for everything you do.

What do you know about Charles Schwab?

At TACT, we see something much deeper.

We see people who show up with heart.
We see leaders who believe in service.
We see a team that continues to invest in our students, our mission, and our future.

Last week marked our 5th year welcoming the Charles Schwab team to TACT. More than 20 employees gave their time to clean, organize, and plant flowers, helping make TACT even more welcoming for our students and families.

A heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Alabiso for leading with purpose and a smile, and a special thank you to Erin Amerlan for your support and heart for this work.
Your kindness goes far beyond one volunteer day.

This is community. This is service. This is what building futures looks like.

On the final day of Autism Acceptance Month… something powerful began.

We didn't just open a new location in Carbondale, Colorado.
We opened doors.
We opened pathways.
We opened futures.

TACT’s Grand Opening represents more than a building, it represents a belief.

A belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to build a meaningful career through hands-on trade education.

What made today even more special?
The smiles. The pride. The sense of possibility.
This is not the end of a month.
This is the beginning of something much bigger.

The first of many.
Because when we move from awareness to acceptance, and into action, lives change.

Welcome to TACT Carbondale. Let’s build the future together.

The 20th Annual IECRM Summit Awards was more than a celebration. It was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with heart, purpose, and belief in the future of our students.

Because of your generosity and support of the IECRM Emerging Leaders 14.0, over $17,000 was raised for TACT that night.

That support means more than words can express. It helps TACT continue to empower neurodivergent young adults through education, hands-on training, and pathways to meaningful employment in the skilled trades.

Thank you to IECRM Emerging Leaders, and every sponsor, supporter, and advocate who made this evening and the fundraiser so meaningful.

“Just like the wires and networks you build every day, your support powers something greater, a future where TACT students are connected to opportunity, energized by purpose, and driven to succeed.”
