CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Jody Bryant has a master’s degree in education psychology from UT Martin, and she used to have a career in rehabilitation for the blind.
She herself then began losing her vision at age 50, and she would eventually lose the ability to drive. Instead of providing Bryant transportation to and from work, her employer fired her. She was out of a job. But she still had a place to go.
“At 65 years old, and visually impaired, GCE hired me,” Jody Bryant said.
Bryant, 67, has been working at GCE, or Global Connections for Employment Inc., for nearly three years. They provide her a way home from work, too.
