About Us

Are you an employer of people with disabilities or complex needs, or would you like to be but are unsure of how? Would you like some support or training to help your organisation and its employees?. This could be something small to many but so big to the individuals it benefits.

GTS is a supported employment specialist. We employ people who present with historical barriers to work, whether that be depression, homelessness, anxiety, or any other number of hurdles. 

 Among the 21 employees currently carrying out various roles across several sites in Glasgow are people who have previously been hampered by age discrimination, a disadvantaged background, physical disability, mental health issues and PTSD syndrome. 

 

Over the past few years, GTS has focused on supporting people with multiple barriers to employment and organisations who wish to have a more inclusive workplace and diverse workforce through our tailored employability programmes which successfully place people into work with the employer’s and support those employers, who are seeking to make their workplace a more inclusive workplace and their workforce more diverse workforce.

 

GTS has tailored programmes that support employees and employers that deliver a happier and more inclusive workplace.
