Classes and Training Modules

The College Internship Program (CIP) offers unique college age curriculum specifically for young adults with Asperger's, ADD and Learning Differences in the following areas:

Social Skills Development


Having a community of motivators, teachers, mentors and friends, CIP students are active in the direction of their lives. Students are developing lasting friendships and social networks through participation in classes, social mentoring, weekend activities and other social events.


Academic Support


As a College Internship Program (CIP) student, your individual academic goals will be reviewed and considered prior to the establishment of your academic program. It is the aim of the academic team at CIP to provide a support system, which will enable each student to achieve the greatest academic success possible.


Internship & Career Support


As a student at the College Internship Program, you will have the opportunity to enhance your skills in the workplace through career skills training and internship placement.

For students whose focus is college academics, you will participate in an internship of a few hours per week. For those whose primary focus will place them on a career track, you will be involved in the C-STEP program, offering an extensive catalogue of curriculum, a more extensive internship in your first year, and a faster track to paid positions thereafter.



Life Skills Instruction


Executive functioning, time management and organizational skills are the building blocks of a productive lifestyle. CIP staff assist young adults with Asperger's and LD with learning to cook and clean, doing laundry, healthy food shopping and developing strategies for organization and time management.


Health and Wellness


Our philosophy is that a person performs at their best when there is a sustained level of wellness in their lives. At the core of our program, CIP has made a commitment to address the wellness of each of our students.
