Students will participate in at least two seminars per semester with the program director and graduate assistant. Seminars are a great way for students to continue to work on transition skills but more in-depth and in relation to living on a college campus. Seminars may include financial management, self-determination and advocacy, career awareness/readiness, technology, job shadowing, health and wellness, interpersonal skills, and decision making.
