I attended your seminar last night in Aurora Ontario. It was excellent. You mentioned Project 360. I am a former Special Ed teacher and now work with foster children. I would be very interested in having access to information or tests that would help us determine the interests that our kids have that would lead them into careers that suit their passions and talents.As you know,so many of them have learning challenges and since they often leave care at age 18, they never have a chance to find a satisfying career. We all know where this leads.I would love to assist kids to be planning for future suitable careers while they are still in high school. Can you please tell me how to access the information about Project 360? Thanks, Marguerite.
