Final Project Idea

 I work in a transition program with young adults who are preparing for life after high school. All students have IEPs and face various challenges for employment. As a program we seek potential work placements and negotiate placements that are often volunteer and supported by work coaches. It can be difficult to get employers on board. I believe that people with disabilities need to be seen as assets rather than the deficits that are often associated with their "label". 

By creating a job site, like Indeed.com,  for my students to post their resumes I hope to attract potential employers. My hope is that this site can highlight the strengths and skills attained from our program and showcase the potential our students can bring to the workforce. Using Canva.com, students can create a resume that show their experience and proficiency using skills necessary in the workforce. 

Here is a sample resume of one of my students.
