The Postsecondary Program School-to-Work Transition Activity in Carroll County Public Schools (Maryland) has been identified as an exemplary school-to-work program that includes students with disabilities. This program serves 25 students aged 17-21 with disabilities in a noncategorical setting with a large majority of students having significant disabilities or mental retardation. Students who have completed a secondary special education program, participated in graduation ceremonies, and are eligible for a certificate of attendance or diploma can apply for entrance into the program. Class instruction consists of the following: social skills training, employment searching, skills for maintaining a job, appropriate peer interactions on the job, computer keyboarding, life fitness, and residential living skills. The job experience is built in as a half or full day depending on the student's needs and aptitude. Students work 5 afternoons and attend classes in the morning. Typically, they are in the program 1-2 years; during the final year, they work full time. The program has the three basic elements of school-to-work: school-based learning, work-based learning, and connecting activities. Both job shadowing and job coaching are provided. Connecting activities are collaboration between the school, community businesses, and service providers and residential experience. (YLB)
