In September 2023, TPI announced its commitment to creating over 500 career-based positions for neurodiverse jobseekers in Nashville over the next decade.
Congratulations to the organizations that share this recognition with TPI for their efforts in inclusive employment, including Freed-Hardeman University, Holiday Inn-Nashville Vanderbilt, Manchester/Coffee County Conference Center, Muse Knoxville; and to the Tennessee State Departments of Intellectual & Development Disabilities, Human Resources, Human Services, and Safety and Homeland Security!

3-22-24 TPI/HCA Partnership Featured in Nashville NewsChannel 5 Story
Story highlights Kurt & the work he is doing supporting the HCA ITG project .
NewsChannel 5 in Nashville, Tennessee featured Kurt Jones, TPI software testing analyst supporting the HCA Healthcare project, in a story which aired on their morning news show on 3/22/24. View the story using this link: https://www.newschannel5.com/news/i-was-afraid-i-was-going-to-fail-company-aiming-to-create-10-000-neurodiverse-careers
TPI and HCA originally announced the collaboration on the project that Kurt is supporting in April 2023. The program leverages the talents of a team of neurodiverse adults from TPI’s workforce to work in HCA Healthcare’s Information Technology Group (ITG).
During his interview for this story Kurt shares, “Yes, I’m autistic, I want to succeed, I want to be challenged, I want to contribute, and every day I prove I can.” This is a sentiment shared across our workforce.
Partnerships with companies like HCA Healthcare, enable The Precisionists to implement our innovative neurodiversity employment model, which creates careers for individuals impacted by autism and other neurodiversities. Considering 80% of autistic adults in the U.S. are either unemployed or underemployed, we are making a true difference in engaging a significant, talented, untapped labor force. As Kurt also shared, “Nowadays, having a steady job, (I) feel confident, I’m actually succeeding when I was afraid I was going to fail.”
TPI is on a mission to create 500 careers for neurodiverse Nashvillians over the next decade. Local to Nashville, TPI also partners with Vanderbilt University, Cat Financial and Dollar General as it strives to reach this goal.
