How do we do what we do?

In this section, we provide examples of the educational support materials utilized to aid students in their pursuit of independence and skill development. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a representation of the tools we use. Each student undergoes a comprehensive screening to assess their current abilities, identify areas for improvement, monitor progress, and determine potential job matches. Furthermore, students are actively engaged in all facets of the process, including product pitching, material sourcing, correspondence, pricing, and organizational tasks.
