Many JBS USA team members seek assistance from the GILC to learn the literacy skills necessary to communicate and thrive, as well as to become U.S. citizens. These services are free of charge. Since it opened in 2007, the GILC has served more than 680 JBS Grand Island team members, and now provides onsite ESL classes to supervisors.
