Partners
Solutions

Sometimes, learners need a little extra help staying on track, learning challenging concepts, or generalizing concepts beyond the screen. Partners (parents, allies, or friends) can work confidently with self-advocates using one-on-one support to deepen the Virtual Job Coach learning experience. Hear from self-advocates about their experience.
