• Simply share your success story: If you or a colleague has navigated challenges like autism, dyslexia, or a disability and found success in the workforce, we would love for you to share your story! This insight can be a beacon of hope for our students.

• Short-term unpaid internships: We're seeking businesses or organizations that need volunteers open to providing short-term unpaid internships, usually around 2 hours at a time. This is a chance for our students to acquire hands-on experience and refine their skills. If you're open to it, we also have small groups of students who can intern collectively, bringing diverse abilities to your tasks

• Mentorship opportunities: Share your industry expertise by mentoring a student. It might just spark a lifelong passion.

• Guest speaking: Lend your voice and insights about your field, the required skills, and the daily intricacies of your profession.

• Potential employment: If an intern aligns well with your business ethos, there's always the potential for longer-term employment, though this isn't a requirement.

• Workplace preparation: Our program emphasizes both hard and soft skills, ensuring that students are work-ready when they exit the Transition Program.
