CSC: Youth Programs / Education Opportunities: Youth Transition Program

Youth Transition Programs

The Youth Transition Program (YTP) focuses on providing youth with disabilities, ages 17-21, with assistance in transitioning from school to post secondary education and training, employment and independent living. YTP participants must have some type of documented disability and be eligible for services with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (OVRS) to be eligible for YTP. Referrals to the program are made in coordination with the student’s school, CSC and OVRS.

The youth are served by a transition team consisting of a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor from OVRS, a Transition Specialist provided by CSC, and a Special Education Instructor from the local school district, who together with the participant develop a transition plan. During this program youth are given a variety of services which may include: career exploration, job shadows, unpaid and paid community work experiences, mentoring, classroom instruction in academic and vocational skills, independent living and personal/social skills and on-the-job training.
