When Opportunity + Experiences + Confidence = Employment Success!

Hudson High School had an employment vision for Josh before he was confident he would ever work. When Robin Rivard, Transition Coordinator, reached out to Ruthie Johnston of Croix Gear, no one could dream of the places they would go or the relationships they would build! Listen to the conversation that TIG had with Josh, Robin and Ruthie about their inspiring journey finding success and the lessons they learned along the way. If you have questions for the panel, contact TIG and our TIG Regional Coordinator will connect you with them. They would love to share their experience with folks interested in learning more about their road to success! Click here to view the video!
Transition Incentive Grant Aid Funding Transition Services

The Transition Incentive Grant Aid received from completion of district Indicator 14 surveys can be a great way to provide funding for transition services for students. The included video montage is from a recent trip students from NOVA High School in Milwaukee took to explore careers in skilled trades. These students were able to meet and network with employers and get hands on experience in the field. The day ended with positive comments from the students and several students being invited to meet for interviews. If you are looking for ideas on using Transition Incentive Grant Aid for your district, you will want to view this 3 minute video!
MPSD Uses Transition Incentive Grant/Aid Funds to Provide Work Opportunities for Students

The Manitowoc Public School District worked hard to complete their Indicator 14 surveys for the students who exited during the 2016-2017 school year and participated in the 2018 Indicator 14 Survey. Manitowoc had 16 qualifying surveys for the Special Ed Transition Incentive Grant Funding and spent 100% of the awarded funds on creating authentic work experiences and improving job skills at the high school level for students in special education.

PTP Tip - Moving Students

Move Student: from one school to another within your district: Currently the PTP does not automatically transfer PTPs from one school to another. Remember as a new school year starts, use the “Move Student” tab within the PTP. For example, all students transitioning from the middle school to the high school will need to be moved. Only a PTP user with a Director Access role can complete this action. A new PTP will need to be created for a transfer student as the PTP does not transfer district to district.

Move Student – Mass Transfers of students between one school and another (Director/Designees only). This provides capability to move multiple students at once when searching by school on the “Move Student” tab. If only the name fields are used to search, you will only be able to change the school for individual students, as per previous functionality. (Reminder: You can enter partial names into the Last Name and First Name fields).
Study Skills Diagnostics Age Appropriate Transition Assessment

Do you have students who have a Postsecondary Goal to attend college? Have you thought about ways to have them assess their skills and identify where they should increase their skills to be successful? These can be great Pre Employment Transition Services for students. The Study Skills Diagnostics from the University of Central Florida allows students and IEP teams to look at students' study habits, learning styles, test anxiety, and other factors to determine where they can grow as a student. Check out the attached video to get ideas of how this assessment can drive identification of Pre Employment Transition Services within the PTP.
