Transition to Employment

Specialized programming for students with learning differences

The last step in our Job Training Program continuum as students are matched with desired and realistic employment in the community through unpaid and paid internships and competitive employment.

Transition to Employment

Questions? Call 440.891.7666

Transition to Employment is designed for students who are in a position to seek and attain competitive employment in the community. It may begin with non-paid job sites in a variety of local businesses.  The student does not report to Polaris but only to his or her non-paid worksite or his or her place of employment.  Students may be provided with travel training opportunities to help further build their readiness for work.  A student in this program needs supported job placement services.  Students must ultimately display a desire to work and be willing to accept supervision.  Skills that are needed for maintaining successful competitive employment are required.

For additional information, contact Diane Xander, Director of Pupil Personnel, Principal of Satellite Programs at 440.891.7666 or dxander@polaris.edu.
