Two weeks ago on February 7th and 8th, our Career Catalyst Specialist Alina Barragan traveled to Westin Long Beach CA for the CWA 2024 Annual Youth Summit! This Workshop focused on discussing the obstacles young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face and how to help them reach their full potential within the workplace. Throughout the workshop, various success stories of the Student Training & Employment Program (STEP) were shared to demonstrate the impact paid work experience has in young people with IDD lives. A big thank you and congratulations to Alina Barragan for presenting at this workshop! 🎉 For more information regarding the Student Training & Employment Program (Step), please click here! https://lnkd.in/grZAzfXv #workexperience #youth #oppurtunities #studentsuccess #studentsupport #workshop #studentempowerment #studentexperience
