In this episode, we chat with Jade Viator, Director, and Caroline Billeaudeau, Community and Career Coordinator, of the UL LIFE Program. The UL LIFE (Learning Is For Everyone) Program is a transformative, individualized certificate program designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  

Jade and Caroline dive into the program’s core pillars:  

• Academic growth tailored to each student’s needs  
• Career development to prepare for meaningful employment  
• Community involvement and fostering connections  
• Independent living skills to empower students for the future  

The UL LIFE Program offers both a Basic 2-year track and an Advanced 4-year track. Students who complete the program earn a Certificate of Accomplishment through the University of Louisiana College of Education and Human Development. This certificate recognizes their achievements in university courses, LIFE courses, employment training, and community integration.  

Tune in to learn more about this life-changing program and its incredible impact on students and their families!
