Description

California has completed a three year pilot College2Career program, funded by vocational rehabilitation (VR), for students with IDD. This effort required engagement between VR, higher education, the DD service system, students, and families to attain the desired outcome of integrated, competitive employment. A panel of program experts will describe results, discuss emergent policy issues and share lessons learned as the program expands and enters the future.
