The Idaho Food Truck Project: Where Are They Now?

This is a rectangular image of the kitchen area of a food truck. There are five people in the image. Three are wearing black T-shirts & two are wearing reddish color T-shirt. All have a black cap on their heads.

Our “Stories from the Field” piece details the transformation of a school bus into a fully functioning food truck,
where the students are the ones running the entire operation, with the invaluable support of the staff.

Work Based Learning Supports #DeafSuccess

This image shows four people wearing lab coats and safety goggles. There are two men and two women. One of the women is holding a beaker with a red liquid in it, while others are staring at it.

What student doesn’t want to be more independent, take a break from the classroom, and potentially earn their own money? With Work Based Learning (WBL) programs, students can do all three, while also learning valuable job, social, and life skills that they can use throughout their future.

Avoid the summer slide by encouraging deaf students to build skills, confidence, and independence and prepare for future careers through work-based learning experiences.

These experiences involve hands-on learning and immersion in real-life work settings while developing work-related technical skills (e.g. communication, critical thinking, leadership, teamwork and problem-solving) and gaining insight into the labor market.
