Now that COVID-19 restrictions have started to gradually ease, IROKO has been taking his skills on the road and we hope to run some pre-placement testing for him in the very near future. In the meantime, there are always skills to continue to fine tune and new cool tricks to learn. Iroko is helping with everything from taking off jackets and shoes to putting items away in bins.
