In the Job Training Program (JTC), a student’s abilities, individual skills and interests are matched to specific jobs within the community. Students with Individual Educational Plans are provided instruction and supports so that they can be successful in the workplace. The student will learn work-related skills in a simulated work environment, then progress into an individualized, community-based or employer training experience. Once paired with an employer, the goal is for the student to maintain competitive or supported employment. It is recommended that a student in the Job Training Program has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) with a transition plan indicating participation in the JTC Program along with community-based employment as a reasonable outcome.
