Opening Doors to Employment
All students deserve to graduate from high school feeling hopeful about their future and ready for further educational opportunities and the workforce. It is our mission to prepare Wisconsin's students to become contributing members of their communities and the world by connecting youth to the resources necessary for a successful transition. For students with disabilities, this can be accomplished with comprehensive advance planning for life after high school. The purpose of this handbook, Opening Doors to Employment, is to assist youth and their families to navigate through this planning process.
This handbook has been created to provide guidance to you, your parents, school counselors, and others on your Individualized Education Program (IEP) team in developing your employment goals. Employment is not a privilege but a right for all youth who have a desire to work. As you prepare academically for your future, it is critical to plan vocationally as well. This handbook provides valuable information on career exploration, job preparation, job search strategies, as well as many other useful resources about employment. It is a tool for your success.
Remember, you have many people who will support you in your planning, but, in the end, you will make the decisions. Being well informed and well prepared will help ensure you have a happy and successful life after high school.
Good luck as you continue to plan your future!
Tony Evers, PhD State Superintendent
