  A Little Background Information: 

   The Transitions School-to-Work Program offers career exploration for students with transition IEP goals through the enhancement and application of job readiness skills. The program provides students an opportunity to train in a career prep program at the Technical Center or at various job sites throughout the community. We utilize a ratio of no more than 4 students per trainer as well as small class sizes. Trainers and teachers observe and monitor their students’ ability levels and application of job readiness skills. A Job Coach will assist each student and help teach skills required for successful work experiences. Students are continuously evaluated in order to ensure goals for job readiness are met. Students must be between the ages of 16 and 22 years old. Students must be enrolled in Flagler County Schools.
