Preparation for Adult Life
Our 18-21 transition program assists students on their way to many paths, such as vocational endeavors, higher educational institutions, or job placement in the workforce. Students get opportunities to explore these various paths - or focus on the one they have already chosen - by job sampling in the community and visits to institutions of higher education or vocational schools. Students will also receive academic support and engage in virtual classes for college.
Work Based Learning (WBL)
Work based learning (also known as job sampling) is a chance for students to receive hands-on training learning new skills. During the WBLs students get to sample many types of job experiences to see what may interest them for future employment. A certified job coach supports them on site so they receive ongoing feedback and support. In addition, student participate in WBLs at the school in computer services, physical education, art, and music.
Job Readiness Curriculum
During the school year students will be instructed on job readiness curriculum from the Attainment Company. This curriculum will focus on the soft skills of employment along with life skills that help individuals be successful in employment.
College Track
The students also have the ability to attend college classes part time in person or virtual. During this time students have a separate classroom to sit quietly and receive support from staff. If you attend class in person you will receive support the days you are at TCS. in addition, you have the option to also participate in the Work Based Learning and Job Readiness Curriculum.
Preparation for Adult Life after TCS
Each student will work with their counselor to apply to DVRS and DDD. Staff onsite are knowledgeable in adult services and can help the family navigate adult services for a seamless transition.
