Career Exploration & Skill Development: Guiding students in exploring career options, building job-readiness skills, and practicing interview techniques.

Collaboration & Training: Partnering with Nebraska Western Region Transition Services to provide training and resources for teachers, parents, and staff on effective transition practices.

Progress Monitoring & Plan Adjustment: Regularly reviewing students& progress toward their transition goals and adjusting the ITP as needed to ensure ongoing success.
