Transition to Work

Teaches students to develop work, employability and social skills for the workplace.

Transition to Work is a program designed to assist students in the development of employability skills, work habits, social skills, and appropriate workplace behaviors. These skills are developed through work experiences in-house (CVCC) and at non-paid community-based sites.

Either section of this program can be repeated to meet individual needs as determined by recommendations of the IEP team, which will include appropriate consideration of program referral guidelines.

Annual re-application is required.

Who may participate? High school students with an Individualized Education Plan may apply. Placement in the program is an IEP team decision which includes appropriate consideration of program referral guidelines. A current IEP is required along with a transition plan indicating community-based employment as a reasonable outcome. Annual re-application is required.
