Virtual Interview Training (VIT)
Teachers will administer the intervention (Virtual Interview Training) with the student participants. University of Michigan research staff will train all teachers (including sites in California) and will provide support as necessary throughout the intervention delivery process. Surveys will be captures several times throughout delivery as delivery is expected to be anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks long.
Services-as-usual
Participants will receive services-as-usual at participants school or program for approximately 6 weeks. Those that are in the active control group will receive access to the e-learning content of the Rita/Travis intervention (not the practice interviews) and will be able to review the e-learning content with teacher's supervision. In addition, this group will review a series of video conversations with autistic adults about navigating the pathway to a career. Surveys will be collected at different time points after randomization.
