Soft Skills is an annual event put on by BRIDGE to help give high school students with disabilities an opportunity to build on their skills and discuss community-based employment as a first option after high school graduation.

Approximately 4 years ago BRIDGE was awarded a grant through WI Employment First and Board of People with Developmental Disabilities (BPDD), also working with the Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) to raise awareness and to educate business owners, community members, and parents on the importance of community-based employment.

As a result of this grant, BRIDGE wanted to offer a Soft Skills training event in order to help give students an opportunity to build on their skills and talk about community-based employment as a first option after high school graduation.

During the day students spend time at a variety of breakout sessions to learn about different soft skills including but not limited to:

• Interview Skills
• Phone Etiquette
• Professional Appearance/ Manners
• Self Advocacy/ Networking
• and more!
