SUMMARY:Access Programs at Capilano University (September 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Join for a virtual presentation of the two Access programs that are offered at Capilano University in September 2023.\n\n\nDiscover Employability is a pre-employment program for students with developmental disabilities who need support to develop more skills for future paid employment. Our courses focus on employability skills\, social skills\, personal finances\, computer skills and safety skills at work. We schedule three separate work experience sessions in different sectors to increase the student’s experience and independence at work. Preference for this program will be given to north shore students.\n\nEducation and Employment Access is offered for students with learning differences (ASD\, ADHD\, anxiety\, mental health issues) who may be accepted into typical first year university programs and courses\, however the jump from high school to university is huge and these students will benefit from some preparation!  This program teaches the expectations of university and employment in a sector of their interest and potential. Students in EEA may have a career goal in mind but need to develop skills and get some documented work experience in that field of interest. Included in the spring term is a 6 week practicum\, arranged by instructors with consultation with the student. A reading and writing comprehension assessment is given during the intake interview.\n\nFor Zoom information see below:\n\n\n\nTopic: Access Programs Info Session\nTime: Nov 17\, 2022 04:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://capu.zoom.us/j/61104694807?pwd=dm9rM1k4czVmVWdUQlhkdWZ6TG5qUT09\n\nMeeting ID: 611 0469 4807\nPasscode: 849742\nOne tap mobile\n+16475580588\,\,61104694807#\,\,\,\,*849742# Canada\n+17789072071\,\,61104694807#\,\,\,\,*849742# Canada\n\nDial by your location\n        +1 647 558 0588 Canada\n        +1 778 907 2071 Canada\n        +1 204 272 7920 Canada\n        +1 438 809 7799 Canada\n        +1 587 328 1099 Canada\n        +1 613 209 3054 Canada\n        +1 647 374 4685 Canada\nMeeting ID: 611 0469 4807\nPasscode: 849742\nFind your local number: https://capu.zoom.us/u/gcFTunGpkD\n\nJoin by SIP\n61104694807@zmca.us\n\nJoin by H.323\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\nMeeting ID: 611 0469 4807\nPasscode: 849742

SUMMARY:Movie Chat Night
DESCRIPTION:The first one this fall!\n This month’s movie is: Johnny Mnemonic \n Watch in advance – this movie is available Netflix & YouTube \nJohnny Mnemonic is a 1995 cyperpunk film directed by Robert Long in his directorial debut. Based on the 1981 story of the same name by Willian Gibson\, it stars Keanu Reeves & Dolph Lungren. Reeves plays a man with an overloaded\, cybernetic brain implant\, in a dystopian\, prophetic view of 2021\, with the world wracked by a tech-induced plague. A few questions to consider before we meet: \nA theme of this 1995 movie\, set in 2021\, is the illicit use of technology to gain access to data. How relevant is this idea of access/use of technology to our world today? What do you think of Johnny Mnemonic as a character\, and Keanu Reeves portrayal of him? \nSee trailer on YouTube : \n\n  \nHosted by: Casey Primus\, B.Com\, CGA\, working for an organization supporting 300 people with diverse abilities & Aaron Michael\, BA\, Political Science.
