Triton College’s Center for Access and Accommodative Services (CAAS) has a new program to help students with disabilities – the Skill Enhancement and Employee Development (SEED) Program. SEED allows greater face-to-face instruction, according to Deborah Kaczmarek, director of CAAS. Kaczmarek said SEED is an updated plan for students, giving them the skills necessary for future employment in the community. Like the previous program, SEED provides the same type of employment skills, such as professionalism, financial management, social communication, coping skills, job expectations and resume writing. However, students now have classroom instruction with lectures and hands-on, practical activities. Kaczmarek feels the longer campus employment experience better prepares the students for their community employment experience. SEED is comprised of two cohorts with each containing six students. The cohorts are small to maintain individual attention and assistance.  Those interested in enrolling in SEED should inquire about the program at their final high school Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) meeting and fill out a form to apply.
