Inside Outside-IN: a free program tailored to the needs of individuals with invisible and episodic disabilities
By Jessica Geboers
The Outside-IN project was a 1-year initiative designed to support youths, aged 15-29, who self-identify as having an invisible or episodic disability, develop skills that are currently in demand in the workplace. Participants had access to free, moderated online courses and mentorships where they had opportunities to learn about creating accessible word documents, PDFs, closed captioning, and conducting website audits. The Outside-IN courses still run online unmoderated, learn more here: http://outsidein.tigweb.org/.
