The Career Skills Institute Program (CSI) at Harper College is a two-year, four semester non-credit college program for students with mild cognitive disabilities who have previously had an IEP ages 18 and above. CSI supports academic growth, helps student recognize strengths and develop realistic career plan, and assesses and builds basic employability skills. We utilize a cohort model with 12-15 students per cohort to provide peer support, encourage socialization, and building social skills.
