Paralegal Assistant Training Program provides wonderful opportunities for development

August 16, 2016 By Editor

“The Paralegal Assistant Training Program provides wonderful opportunities for development in job skills and independence in the community for students that need a structured environment and approach.  I currently have two students working in different settings in the Boston area. They are proud of their work and relationships that have developed with co-workers. My students quickly made progress while feeling supported and valuable. The program allows engagement with the broader community while areas of potential interest are explored in relation to transition planning. Families, teachers, and support staff are happy with the opportunity and student results! I would recommend the PLAT program to educators looking for job placements for high school students in their later years as they prepare for a successful transition.”
