School to Work Transition Program

The School-to-Work Transition Program works with High School seniors who have a current IEP, with an outcome of attending a sheltered workshop or supported employment services.  An assessment and job shadowing is an important part of a successful transition from High School into Avenues Day Program or into the community. This program provides students with an opportunity to transition while still attending high school. 

Avenues Employment & Transition Specialist will work with each school district in Schuylkill County.  If the student is not currently involved with or does not have an open case with S.A.M. (Schuylkill County MH/MR provider), the Employment & Transition Specialist will make that referral for the student/parent. Our goal is to prepare the student for placement in the sheltered workshop or in the community through supported employment.

"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said that we judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. The staff and employees with disabilities at Habilitation are the best people I have ever worked with.  They love their jobs and I commend them for their perseverance, flexibility and ability to learn new tasks and experience successful outcomes"

-Suzanne Kunkel, Program Manager
