INVEST

INVEST is a postsecondary transition program for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Each certificate will be adjusted to fit the student’s goals and career choice, as students take technical classes related to their career choices and will be involved on campus, in the classroom and in the community to help build skills.
Through campus, classroom, and vocational training, students will have increased self-advocacy, independence, and competence in:
• Setting and communicating needs, wants, and long and short-term goals;
• Identifying and developing transferable and marketable occupational and job attainment skills;
• Community responsibility and membership through activities which foster and support engagement, sustainability, and social reciprocity
• Critical thinking skills including self-reflection of learning and information gathering and analysis; and
• Collaborating effectively with others, demonstrating respect for diversity and global perspectives, and recognizing and responding to varying levels of interpersonal relationships.
