Other State Activities:

We are working with institutions of higher education to target how best to help students succeed in college, including training on study skills, time management, and organizational skills. The IHEs have been supportive and helpful in this endeavor. We are also running transition fairs throughout the state targeting students and their families. Finally, we continue to work on developing, in collaboration with Vocational Rehabilitation, our Transition Academies for students leaving high school yet requiring additional training.
