Transition Fair Toolkit

The National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center (NSTTAC) developed the Transition Fair Toolkit to help local and regional teams to design, plan, and implement a transition fair or similar transition-focused event. Local employers, business owners, service providers, education and vocational rehabilitation professionals, family members, and most importantly, the youth themselves may all be involved in the planning and implementation of the event. This toolkit is a practical guide, providing descriptions of essential components, samples of planning tools, and examples from events held in other communities. The Transition Fair Toolkit also includes evaluation tools that the team may use to determine whether the fair had the desired impact among all stakeholders.
