Will County Transition fair

[Guest guest]

Just a reminder. The flyers are not available yet, but the Will County

Transition to Adulthood fair will be April 21, 8am to1(subject to

revision) at Joliet Junior College.

There will be a Transportation section, with a rep from PACE, then

individuals to talk about DuPage curb to curb and the new Kane County

initiative. If you have individuals who will not be able to drive, you

need to attend these and learn what we have to do to get transportation

improved in Will County. There is an initiative at PACE to improve

services and comment cards will be available. Also, Emmett, a

leading vocational counselor who has worked with Walgreens and others

to improve employment for disabilities, will do 2 sections for those

who want to learn how to improve employment for those with

disabilities. One will be on creating a portfolio to show what the

individual has done that might not be represented on a resume. The

second will be on how to approach businesses to employ individuals with

disablities. There will also be reps from local agencies, residential

homes, colleges, recreatinal districts, and more.

As soon as the official handouts are available I will get them out to

you, but please mark your calendars and pass the word on.
