High School Transition

Job Foundation

Job Foundation engages with students in their second-to-last year of school, connecting with them and planning ahead. This involves discovery activities and the creation of a Job Foundation report, which outlines practical next steps for employment.

This is made possible through a partnership between school districts, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), County Developmental Disabilities, Employment Providers, and others.
