Secondary Transitional Experience Program (STEP)

STEP (Secondary Transition Experience Program)  

Goals of STEP

 
STEP is a training/placement program that helps students with disabilities prepare to transition to employment and community participation during and after high school.  Students learn to become productive, self-sufficient adults through a variety of STEP experiences. These experiences:
  • Assist students in developing desirable work habits and realistic career goals;
  • Provide opportunities for students to explore careers;
  • Offer meaningful work experiences through on-the-job placement; and
  • Encourage students to develop the social and personal skills needed to maintain successful employment.
Students who have work experience during high school are more likely to have a job and earn more money after they leave school.
