Career Education / Transition

Our Career Education/Transition Curriculum has four primary objectives for students in their Middler through Senior High School years:

  1. To encourage independence as each student accepts increasing levels of responsibility.
  2. To develop career awareness beginning with an assessment of interests and skills which can be adapted to jobs.
  3. Creation and implementation of school-to-work based learning plans.
  4. Actual transition planning where the basic skill competencies for post-high school education and employment are being analyzed and evaluated throughout the year.

The students and staff evaluate personal preferences, vocational options, social and emotional learning styles and goals. They then look at research agencies and colleges or training programs which can foster success in the post-high school years.
