About the ECLIPSE Conference
Previously known as the CONNECT Conference, the ECLIPSE Conference is designed to empower students with disabilities, families, and professionals in navigating the transition to competitive integrated employment (CIE) for post-secondary success.
This event brings together two key components:
🔹ECLIPSE Student Leadership Conference: A hands-on, engaging experience for students with disabilities to build self-advocacy, workplace skills, and career readiness for students participating in inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) programs.
🔹Capacity Building Institute (CBI): A professional development event focused on best practices for inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) program educators, transition coordinators, employment specialists, and families supporting students in postsecondary education and employment.
What to Expect?
✅ Inspiring Keynotes – Hear from former and current inclusive post-secondary education students from across the country who have successfully transitioned to CIE.
✅ Interactive Workshops – Build resumes, practice interviews, and learn about workplace rights and benefits.
✅ Networking & Leadership – Learn about advocacy while engaging with professionals, families, and peers through structured leadership sessions.
Whether you're a student, educator, family member, or professional, the ECLIPSE Conference is your opportunity to gain tools, build networks, and take action toward a more inclusive and successful future.
