Overview

As school provides many tools needed to successfully transition to adult life, there are many factors that make this transition difficult. Placer County Office of Education offers a variety of engaging programs to ensure a smooth transition for students throughout the county. While this transition can be both mentally and physically draining, the added responsibilities involved with adult life can pose a great deal of fear for these students. Our programs deal with the many factors of being an adult, but we mainly focus on finding and sustaining employment. In addition, we teach qualities of what it means to be a great employee, including organizational skills, time management, budgeting, workplace etiquette, work ethic​, and much more. To find more information about these programs, including who to contact for help, view the various sections below.

Program Description

The Transition Partnership Program (TPP) is a collaborative effort between the Placer County Office of Education and the California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR). The program serves students with disabilities helping them develop the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to obtain and retain meaningful work. Services include resume development, interview preparation, employment skills coaching, job search assistance, and access to interview/work clothing.

Eligibility

To be eligible, students must:

  • ​Attend high school in Placer County
  • Be within 16–21 years of age
  • Have a barrier to employment (e.g., IEP, 504 plan, mental health diagnosis, physical disability, etc.)

Need Addressed

Many youth with disabilities or other employment barriers face significant challenges when transitioning from school to the workforce. TPP addresses these challenges by providing targeted job readiness training, individualized coaching, and tangible resources to increase employability, economic independence, and long-term success.​
