Welcome to the Transition Academy 

The Transition Academy is a hands-on program to support young adults with disabilities to build the needed skills to be successful in adulthood. These skills focus on independence, including gainful employment, socially appropriate behaviors, daily living skills, and safety. During their time at the Transition Academy, students will be prepared and offered opportunities to apply, interview, and potentially gain entry-level employment with the support of Transition Academy trainers. Moreover, students will have guidance on domestic chores to maintain healthy living. The Transition Academy is dedicated to supporting students to become well-rounded, independent adults. 

Student Expectations

Considering the Transition Academy is preparing students for adult transition, it is the expectation for students to be regarded as adults. Daily communication will be with students; students are expected to share information with their families. In the event of an absence, students are required to notify trainers, simulating responsible work habits. Additionally, students are expected to maintain work attire Monday-Thursday and casual dress on Fridays. Work attire includes casual work pants (no sweatpants, no holes in jeans), collared shirt, and non-slip shoes. Students may carry one small bag and lunchbox (as desired). All personal items must be able to fit inside a bin provided. Work conditions will be the expectation throughout the Transition Academy.
