This session outlines how one organization developed and implemented a competency-based rubric to support skill growth among neurodivergent interns. Presenters share how the rubric was built, how it tracks growth across vocational, executive functioning, and social skills, and what the data revealed over three years. You’ll learn how structured coaching, modular evaluations, and responsive program design can lead to meaningful, job-ready outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to build and implement a soft skills rubric to support real-time growth tracking across key areas like time management, teamwork, and initiative.
• Explore evaluation findings and insights that show how structured coaching improves employability and informs program design.
