Inside of the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric Centre in the Montreal suburb of Cote Saint-Luc, you'll find a cafe serving up more than coffee and sandwiches.
It's giving students like Zach Kruse a chance to learn valuable skills outside of the classroom.
"I've done serving coffee and baked goods, making sandwiches: spicy tuna or bagels and lox," 19-year-old Zach Kruse told CTV National News. "I've also done washing dishes and the cash register."
The Summit School, an English-language school in Montreal for special needs students, opened the cafe last year, with the goal of better preparing its neurodivergent students to enter the workforce.
The school also has a floral program, a leather work studio and a copy centre, where young people can gain valuable work experience.
