The program is for Syracuse City School District students ages 18-21 with either intellectual or learning disabilities. Students participate in the program for 1-2 years. The focus is to prepare students to move into the workforce and adulthood through socially integrated programming. Students intern on campus for vocational skill based training, utilize Fast ForWord to accelerate learning and improve language processing, and participate in campus lectures, clubs, activities, and service learning. The program is staffed by the Syracuse City School District with one special education teacher and one teaching assistant.
