Employment History

Research shows that students with two or more work experiences during school are five times more likely to have paid employment after high school. All past, present and future employment is valuable and a piece of the transition plan.

The IEP should consider:

• Any and all places the student has participated in paid and unpaid work.

• Places the student has done job shadows, business tours, or volunteered.

• Interest Inventory outcomes.

• Places the student expressed interest in.

• College and career fair events and outcomes from each.

• Family and student input of jobs done around home and in the community.
