The major goal of the Career Pathways transition program is to develop employability skills in students with disabilities. This is accomplished through vocational training and community experiences. The anticipated program outcomes are to decrease the number of student dropouts and lower student unemployment. The specific aim of the transition planning process is to match the student's interest and ability with actual job site placement.
Students participate in training pathways at an individualized pace.
Each student s pathway experience begins with in-house training. As the student completes in-house training he or she will be prepared to work in a community business. All experiences are congruent with student interests and abilities. Transition planning involves the student and all other essential persons. A transition plan is developed with emphasis on maintaining a continuum of support and services that will follow the student when he or she enters the community.
