Description: This vocational training course uses the Model Transition Program (Job Readiness Curriculum). These lessons
provide tools that create valuable resources to plan for future and knowledge on how to get and maintain a job in the
workforce. In grades 9-11, the students focus on basic employment concepts using the Unique Curriculum, which aids in
the creation of a vocational portfolio to help identify areas of interest, learning styles, positive work skills, and work
environment preferences. They also utilize the “I Can Work” Program, which is a “hands-on” approach to learning the
skills needed in common vocational workplaces; retail, grocery, office, and restaurant. The Vocational Training Course also
uses the Brigance Transition Skills Inventory, which provides a baseline of knowledge in the areas of educational and career
interests and choices, work ethics and attitudes, knowledge of employment forms, and vocabulary related to employment.
In the second tier of the class, grades 12 and 12+, the students begin participating in unpaid-work experiences at local
employment sites in the community, as well as refining their work portfolios and employment skills and knowledge.
