This service is designed to address federal and state law requirements that students

with disabilities have a transition plan and services available to them. This service is

designed to provide school districts with consultation and resources to meet federal and

state requirements for Graduation Standards, Related Standards for Career and Technical

Education for Transition Disabled. The project is based on a skill set of employment skills from research by the Secretary of Labor Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills - Secondary Transition Employment Program. The service is designed to improve employment education activities.

High school students in grade 11 and higher who are at risk or have individual education transition plans.

The focus of the service is to provide training

activities and develop resources to support students with employment skill needs. A

secondary focus is to improve both educator and employer skills to identify student needs

and problem solve interventions for the mentorship experience.
