During the sessions, Dr. Alfred Daviso will introduce attendees to different apps for facilitating successful transition in the areas of employment, education and independent living for transition students. Session dates, times and topics are below:

To further support our MN VRS staff and partners in increasing their knowledge and enhancing services to youth, VRS will cover the cost of the event. So we invite all MN VRS staff, VRS contracted community partners and educators to attend these virtual trainings. If you can’t attend all of them, each session will be recorded for future viewing up to 6 months following the event.
