Hi I'm Jackie. Why am I qualified to teach this self-study to professionals

My background is in special education, school administration, research, and creating strength-based assessments through research for student job planning. I worked in Hardin County School District as an administrator over the student transition and career readiness program and I worked with clients in KY Vocational Rehabilitation. I conducted qualitative research through University of Louisville and independently for 15 year on this topic. Lastly, I have rich experience with my adult autistic son in which I guided and supported him to pursue his artistic talents and to live his own life with well-being.

Currently, my focus is helping ‘early career students’. I teach courses, coach, write books and create digital resources to help ‘early career students’ identify a career right for them. My resources also relates to the student’s needs to be ready socially and emotionally because college and the workplace will require much from them.

Over the past three decades, I loved working with youth who are neurodivergent, autistic, and neurotypical, identifying their best assets/qualities. My work involved negotiating job placement with supports, and untangling when I could - the environmental barriers that got in the way of their capability. It wasn’t easy. But working in collaboration with others to change attitudes that opened doors into inclusive workplaces was worth it all. I recently created my signature model ‘Thrive Career’ from decades of my work, experiences, and my 15 year qualitative research.

Most intimately, I gained in-depth insight from over hundred’s of thousands (too many to count) life experiences on my journey with my autistic son, Trent, as I created supports to meet his needs and quality of life. Over the past 20 years, I observed his passion experiencing a long career as an expressionistic/abstract artist. It hasn’t always been smooth and easy, and at times, it has been a rough, bumpy road. But he continues to show us, he thrives.

All of my books and digital resources are based upon my real life experiences and then research. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be happy to answer them. drjackiemarquette@gmail.com.
