Serving three cohorts of 20 students annually, C2C is designed to meet the unique needs of our students in postsecondary education and the workforce.

Students also take courses in math, English, and Career Technical Education in the field of their choice. Students work with C2C staff (Vocational Skills Coaches, Job Developer, Job Coaches) to support translating what students learn in the classroom to applying it in the workplace. Services we provide students include: • Identifying skills and tasks students need to learn or improve • On-the-Job Training and Job Coaching • Career Exploration and Preparation • Facilitating communication between students and their supervisors/coworkers • Identify and implementing workplace accommodations • Identifying areas of strength and areas of challenge • Assisting employers in giving students job performance feedback Additionally, C2C students work extensively with a job developer in work experience settings, and in the classroom to prepare them for success in the workplace.
