STRIVE - Students Taking Responsibility for Independence & Vocational Education
Posted by Lucia Francis
on Mar 13, 2012
A Partnership of Milwaukee Area Technical College, Homestead High School & Mequon Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club
The Vocational Service Committee will be collaborating to enhance the college experience of eight Homestead High school students. Several members of our Sunrise club will either meet with the students and share their expertise or will host the students on a tour of their business.
This program creates an opportunity for young adults with intellectual disabilities to explore college life and employment skills that will assist and empower them to become engaged in their community. The course and experiential activities are developmental-level designed to examine vocational skills that can lead to entry-level employment.
