In this webinar, the UCLA Tarjan Center hosted the Advance to Apprenticeship (A2A) team, an innovative program including partners at University of Rochester, Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities, Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC), and the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY). The A2A program engages community college students with disabilities in a career technical education (CTE) program focused on manufacturing. Our speakers shared insights into how this partnership created opportunities for education, training, pre-apprenticeship, and apprenticeship for students with disabilities, including those with intellectual disability. The speakers shared how universal design for learning was incorporated into the model, strategies for coordinating resources and wrap around support for students, and actionable ideas for engaging with business partners.
