School-to-Work Transition Services

This is a service for those ages 14 through adulthood who are preparing for meaningful lives in their communities. It helps young adults develop skills, relationships, and gain opportunities in their homes and neighborhoods as they prepare to begin community life. Focused on helping individuals take their best steps forward (based on their own self-determined plans of action), the program supports, guides, and presents real-life experiences to people as they take their daily lives beyond congregate programming.

Community Jobs Network

With the Community Jobs Network students begin forging a career path based upon their true strengths and interests. Working in businesses, government, and university offices, they earn while they learn. With careful guidance from expert job coaches and encouraging managers, students begin to accumulate the kind of on-the-job experience that can lead them to continued employment opportunities.
