Person Centered Practices

Academic Career Exploration-Individualized Techniques (ACE-IT in College) is an innovative four semester program at Virginia Commonwealth University that leads to a School of Education Certificate of Completion. Each student’s coursework is built upon their interests and employment goals as described in their person centered plan. The final three months of the certificate program are spent working with employment specialists to seek employment in their desired career. ACE-IT in College students are encouraged to participate in the social aspects of college through student organizations, campus activities, and service. While in the program, students participate in work experiences and internships with the assistance of a job coach.
