The Vocational Transition Shop is a transition opportunity for youth with disabilities, whose post-secondary goal is that of employment. The program is designed to accommodate a morning and afternoon session. The curriculum content consists of technical skills, transferable skills (i.e. hygiene, punctuality, and conflict resolution) and reading and math in the vocational context. The vocational areas that the student may experience are maintenance, landscaping, auto detailing, and customer service. This program is designed for students who desire vocational learning but require specially designed instruction and accommodations for success. Students are assessed in this program using curriculum based assessment, task analysis, situational assessments and student portfolios. A speciation teacher and at least one full time para-educator help the students to reach their highest potential.
The Vocational Transition Shop is located at the Wilkes-Barre Area Career & Technical Center.
