Community Integration Through Co-operative Education

---

Description

The Community Integration through Cooperative Education (CICE) program is designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities, brain injuries, mental health issues and other learning challenges. This program provides students with an opportunity to enhance academic skills by offering the required supports in and out of the classroom. The CICE program enables students to develop vocational abilities in a number of career-related, supervised field placement experiences. Students have the exciting opportunity to complete a program with courses tailored through the modification process to fit their academic abilities.

Students are supported by learning facilitators who attend classes with them and provide follow-up learning support sessions.
