Description
-
Achieve is an inclusive, comprehensive post-secondary transition program for students with intellectual disabilities and autism. The certificate program includes credit and non-credit classes, intensive advising, involvement in campus life, career development and work-based learning activities. Students in Achieve have access to Highline Community Employment Services for assistance with job placement. All Achieve students work with an intensive advisor and career specialist to draft and implement a comprehensive, individual plan for college and career. Specific courses, campus activities, and work-based learning experiences are determined based on skills and competencies needed for the student to achieve his or her identified goal(s). Highline Community Employment Services is CARF-accredited for employment planning, transition, job development and employment support services.
