Starting at age 14, students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) create a transition plan with their case manager based on their strengths and interests. The components of the plan are postsecondary goals and transition services. Post-secondary goals include vocational training, postsecondary education, jobs and employment, and independent living. Transition services include the necessary instruction needed, related services, community experiences students such as volunteer work, career and college counseling and help with daily living skills if needed. Students will use the technology to do research, apply for employment online or post-secondary school choices, print artifacts for their professional portfolios (resumes, online career profiles, and clearances and etc.) and apply for adult services. The final goal for all students is to become independent or receive supported services for gainful competitive employment or enrollment in a post-secondary school of choice. The students will benefit from these resources for exclusive use for them to complete their transition goals. Also, students will be reassured that they have a technological resource that is up to date and designated for their own use and not other classrooms availability.

Student participate in career activities exposing them to non-traditional careers with Work Based Learning Environments in the local community.
