SUMMARY:Families Forward
DESCRIPTION:Families Forward  \nWednesday\, January 8 \n6:30 pm – 8:30 pm | Online \n  \nJoin us for an information session  with Carlos Pereira from Norquest College\n \nIs it too early to start thinking about the future and post secondary education for my child?\n \n“It is my hope to not only reach out to adult learners about our Data Analytics and Business Intelligence for Autistic/Neurodiverse Individuals\, but to also reach out to parents of young children. The purpose of reaching out to parents is to provide hope\, start creating a vision (path) for their children so they can begin preparations to meet the entry requirements. The goal is to prepare in advance so that their children can end up with a realistic opportunity to attain meaningful employment.” ~ Carlos Pereira \nRegister HERE \n\n\n\nQuestions?
