Program Description
The Post Secondary Team Transition Program is outcome driven. As a transition team, our goal is to engage youth and young adults in planning their own futures by providing youth with developmentally-appropriate services and supports, and involving students, their families, and other key players in a process that prepares and facilitates them in their movement toward greater self-sufficiency. Our objective is the successful achievement of their goals related to each of the transition domains – employment, career-building education, living situation, personal-effectiveness and quality of life, and community-life functioning.

The Post Secondary Team Transition Program endeavors to provide students with:

• Enriching collegiate experiences
• Interactive and inclusive environments
• Learning activities that will transfer to lifelong independent living skills
• Job skills necessary for gainful employment
• Self respect and knowledge of individual strengths
• Empowerment through education

Objectives

• To provide life skills training enabling the student to successfully live independently. Typically, students will complete the program within 24 months. However, completion time may be extended for students who need the additional time.
• To provide job development and placement enabling the student to acquire employment during the program.
•  To provide realistic and inclusive learning experiences and activities while utilizing the natural progression of a community college campus as a higher learning opportunity.
• To coordinate with the student, family, district, and agency personal, in the development and implementation of specific objectives that increase independence in the community.
• To assist the student and family in coordinating the transition into independent life.
