School to Work Transition Program for students ages 16 through graduation
Focusing on providing a support system for high school students with disabilities, Inroads School to Work Transition Program works with students from ages 16 through graduation to explore the world of work. Through a variety of opportunities from paid work experiences to vocational training activities, students learn what it means to be a successful employee.
Learn By Doing
Inroads Transition Program works with local business partners to provide a mix of activities and experiences that focus on work. We mix "learn-by doing," hands on classroom activities with employment readiness training at actual work sites. Our program respects each student's individuality and creates a pathway to employment success.
Inroads collaborates with students, parents, school staff and adult service providers such as the NJ Department of Developmental Disabilities and the NJ Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services to ensure seamless transition from school to work.
Life After Graduation
We work with high school students with an IEP between the ages of 16 and graduation. Students attend our program 2-5 times per week, depending on eligibility and whether they’re in a graduating year.
Upon graduation, Inroads vocational supports are available throughout adulthood. We believe in seamless support from classroom to career.
Summer Transition
Maintain Progress Made During The School Year.
Inroads to Transition also provides a 6 week summer program for students just beginning their employment readiness journey. Our goal is to teach students about work opportunities through fun and interactive learning experiences. Students are taught the appropriate behaviors and performance expectations by sampling jobs in the community. Inroads challenges each student to pursue occupations that fit their skills interests and preferences.
