Julie, STEP Graduate

Julie had been out of a job for several years, due to autism. Julie was invited to an UP Orlando Success Training Employment Program (STEP) graduation ceremony, where she met several UP Orlando STEP staff who motivated her to enroll in the STEP program. The program had a powerful and profound impact on Julie. “The STEP program impacted my life in so many ways.  I learned about myself, gained confidence, learned new skills, and most importantly learned how important it is to listen. I was even named alumni ambassador! I am so excited about what my future holds”.
