Student Transitional Employment Program (STEP)

Student Transition Employment Program (STEP)is an eight-week program that provides competitive work experience to, generally, high school aged youth. The goal is to provide each student with a foundation for the school-to-work transition, to enable each to practice personal independence through work and goal-setting experiences as well as afford them the opportunity for community involvement. This program includes vocational exploration; identifying preferences and abilities at work; learning about work related behaviors; and self-advocacy.
