Family Employment Awareness Training (FEAT) increases family, student, and professional knowledge of state, federal, and community resources that support employment.
The no-cost FEAT sessions cover different topics each day. Expect individual and group activities, discussions, pullout sessions for young adults, and presentations from local employees, entrepreneurs, and community resource agency members.
FEAT training facilitators follow up with technical assistance sessions to support participants in taking steps toward achieving competitive integrated employment.
