Transition Services

New Horizons has developed Transition Programs to help students with special needs meet the unique challenges they face when entering the job market.

We develop training curriculums in conjunction with educators to meet the needs of students. We work with transition youth, providing skills that include resume preparation, job shadowing experiences, job placement and work place readiness training.

New Horizons staff will help students examine their interests, goals and talents offering insight on how to prepare for the world of work. Students participate in field trips to businesses and meet employers in the community, as a way of assisting them in finding and keeping jobs. Staff are also available to introduce and arrange for post-secondary educational and vocational options. Through support and encouragement, we are able to teach self-advocacy and independence.
