Youth Employment Services

PCOE Public Facing Web Site

​Transition Support Services consists of two separate programs dedicated to supporting students as they prepare to transition to adult life, opportunities, and responsibilities. The primary emphasis for each program is employment.  However, as finding and keeping a job requires many specific skills, these programs also address organization, time management and budgeting skills, post-secondary education options, workplace etiquette and work ethic, among others. These programs are PCOE's Transition Partnership Program (TPP) and WorkAbility l.

Prevention Services is proud of these programs and love what we do. Please see the Documents and Employees links for additional program and contact information.​​

TPP is a partnership between PCOE and Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), serving students ages 16-21 who attend high school in Placer County and have a diagnosed "barrier to employment".  Many of our TPP clients have Individual Education Plans (IEPs), but this is not required.  The program provides one-on-one support with career exploration, pre-employment skills and job searches, possible paid job placements, help securing vital documents necessary for employment, and a host of other transition supports.

​WorkAbility l 

This program provides valuable pre-employment transition skills training to special education high school students currently enrolled in one of the Placer County Office of Education Court and Community Schools. This nationally recognized school-to-work program supports the transition of special education students while developing the skills necessary for competitive employment and success outcomes.

The school-based component is designed to promote career awareness and exploration, and involves activities including vocational assessments, soft skills, training, workplace etiquette and guidance to help students discover their strengths and interests. Students 16 and older may be eligible to participate in paid off-campus work placements based on their interests, abilities and aptitudes.

The mission of WorkAbility 1 is to promote the involvement of key stakeholders including students, families, educators, employers and other agencies in planning and implementing an array of services that will culminate in successful student transition to employment, lifelong learning and quality of life.

Funding for the PCOE's Workability 1 Program is made possible by a grant from the California Department of Education.
