Employment Training
Program (ETP)
Are you looking for help finding a job!
We have the program for you!
The Employment Training Program or “ETP” is an opportunity for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, social and communication challenges, and other learning differences. The program is open to post-secondary students looking to improve their skills in self-advocacy and communication, enthusiasm and attitude, teamwork, networking, problem-solving and critical thinking, and professionalism. Turning Pointe partners with local employment partners to provide students access to hands-on training opportunities in work settings and on-site mock training environments.

Within that time students have access to employment based instruction, frequent breaks, lunch/snack breaks, mock and real world training opportunities.
