College students with intellectual disability need guidance from VR professionals to seek and obtain meaningful work experiences. We created a page just for those professionals to get the information they need!

Think College is excited to share this publication series: Credential Pathways Stories. This series is designed to shine a spotlight on the transformative role that higher education can play in the lives of students with intellectual disability.

Check out this resource that people can use to make CTE accessible to students with intellectual disability.

The team at Think College is delighted to host a student intern from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). Stuart comes to us with a wide range of interests and is learning about different aspects of work, including keeping a schedule, completing tasks, and learning from others.

Postsecondary education is more than just a learning opportunity for individuals with intellectual disability - it’s a pathway to employment and financial independence.

In our work with colleges and national organizations around the country, we have had the opportunity to hear directly from students about their college experiences in academics, socially, finding meaningful employment, and making their way in the community.

New guidance from the US Department of Education provides clarification about use of funds for transition and postsecondary access. 

[Project: Think College National Coordinating Center] Join us October 15 for an informative webinar in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, focusing on internship support and the transition from college to fulfilling careers. 

We are excited to share this new guidance which may better support students accessing VR funding to support their higher education goals.
