The Milwaukee School of Languages School-to-Work Transition Program is comprised of three separate, but highly related programs devoted to the development of federally mandated employment readiness for our students with special needs: Community Assessment Training Program (CATP), On the Job Training\/Education (OJT\/E), and Employment Training Program (ETP).\u00a0They are described below.\r\n\r\nCATP currently comprises more than 20 worksites during the school year and 2-3 worksites during the summer as part of the extended school year (ESY) program. Each site has one special education teacher assigned and one or more educational assistants. The students learn the \"hard skills\" or the \"how to\" of the specific jobs, and they receive instruction in the \"soft skills\" of employment such as professionalism, handling conflicts, and effective communication.\r\n\r\nCATP has a long and successful history with our existing sites. Some of our community partners have been involved with the STWTP since its inception 25 years ago, and they continue to provide our students with a wide variety of work assessment opportunities.\r\n\r\nThe CATP program supports approximately 200 students with special needs per semester in worksite opportunities. All areas of disability are represented. The students receive high school elective credit for their participation. The students report to sites five times per week for the semester and follow the traditional school-year calendar. The majority of CATP students are bused between home\/school and worksites, though the STWTP trains students identified as viable candidates for mobility training in the use of public transportation.\r\n\r\nThe On the Job Training\/Education Program typically employs students each semester during the school year. All students enrolled in OJT\/E are recommended by transition coordinators, CATP teachers, or IEP (individualized education program) teachers. The students receive high school elective credit for their participation. Students are paid minimum wage. Students must be able to use public transportation or provide their own transportation.\r\n\r\nThe Employment Training Program (ETP) provides support to students ages 18-21 who are recommended for their participation because of successful CATP assessments and more highly developed job-readiness skills. The students receive high school elective credit for their participation. ETP specialists work with individuals, businesses, agencies, corporations, and associations to develop employment opportunities for students.\r\n\r\nThe School to Work Transition Program provides supported work experiences and employment opportunities for hundreds of MPS students with disabilities each year. Students are offered a wide variety of work opportunities at the various sites, are continually assessed and instructed for improvement, and leave the program not only with employment skills but with a resume that reflects the wealth of their MPS-supported experiences.\r\n\r\nThe program continues to serve as a model for other districts and accommodates numerous onsite visit requests each year. STWTP staff and students have been recognized by Council of Exceptional Children (CEC) and the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. It is a unique, successful, and valuable program for our students with disabilities, and one that has always put the needs of the students first.\r\nTransition To The Next Step Of Your Life<\/h2>\r\nIt is never too early to start planning for high school or after high school. Before you know it, you'll be ready to move on to whatever comes next! So there is no time like now to start planning. What will that be for you?
