The Job Training Program (JTP) is a one or two-year Career and Technical Education program in the Tri-Heights Consortium. The JTP program is designed specifically for students on Individualized Education Programs (IEP’S). This program can provide service to 15 students with unique learning needs, which may cause barriers to training and employment. The JTP program provides school-to-career transition services that expand employment opportunities of special needs students while meeting the employment needs of a community-based employer.

 

In preparation for a successful work experience, students participate in various pre-vocational and work adjustment activities. In addition, each student’s specific interests and abilities are assessed through an Occupation Career Assessment. Students selected to participate in this program benefit from intensive pre-vocational training while participating in community-based internships, and volunteer programs. At least three periods each day are spent gaining work experience in sites such as South Pointe Hospital, Concordia Care Nursing Facility, and Huron Road Hospital.

 

Job Coach services are available to assist students with on-the-job training, learning job tasks and other employment related issues. Entrance into JTP is based on recommendation of the Career Assessment and IEP Teams.
