Review

BroadFutures is a well-run program that uses guest speakers, acting exercises, field trips, and more to help young people with learning differences gain confidence in their workforce skills and abilities. All staff members are caring, supportive, and work hard to help each intern not only succeed but thrive in a supportive community. They try to ensure that each internship fits perfectly with the individual's career interests and previous intern/work experience. The opportunities they provide for internships range from government offices, non-profit organizations, and businesses. BroadFutures is very innovative in teaching young people skills such as interviews, communication at career fairs, and how to best engage in small talk, through fun acting games and exercises.
At BroadFutures, I always felt included by the staff and community. My internship placement at a non-profit organization was a wonderful learning experience and the internship training program helped to build confidence in my workforce abilities. I would recommend this program to any young person with learning differences who wants to strengthen their workforce skills.
