The Market Day is a vital event for students in the ACT (Adult Community Transition) program as it provides a unique opportunity to develop essential life and vocational skills in a real-world setting.
Through the creation, display, and sale of their handcrafted items, students gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, communication, and money management. This event fosters a sense of independence and accomplishment as students interact with customers, make decisions, and see the tangible results of their efforts.
Additionally, Market Day encourages creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, while promoting social interaction and building confidence in a supportive environment. It’s not just a market—it’s a stepping stone for personal growth and a celebration of each student’s abilities and hard work.
