Regional Networking Sessions

The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is bringing educators, service providers and parents together to brainstorm and network. You will learn about skills gaps and where transition students are falling short directly from the sources within your region: employers and post-secondary educators. Centrum for Disability Services will be speaking about the importance of work and youth acquiring work credits. If you work with youth, you won't want to miss this brainstorming session.
