The High School Career Challenge

We had an opportunity to teach in the High School Career Challenge, a multidisciplinary program designed to promote independence for students with Asperger’s Syndrome.

A consortium of 6 mid-Michigan organizations focused on basic skills required to successfully enter the job market.  They collaborated to create The High School Career Challenge.

The High School Career Challenge offered computer classes at Mott Community College; Life Coaching with a focus on disability awareness, disability disclosure and self-advocacy; summer jobs. Students participated in three-week rotations at different work sites. Employment skills were taught “on the job”, with coaching provided on site by Work Skills Corporation.
