ESSAY ON: Transitioning to the Workforce

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page research paper that examines literature pertaining to students with disabilities and transitional education that facilities their entry into the workforce. The ultimate test of any school system is the level of success achieved by its graduates. Over the past 25 years, researchers have realized that young adults with disabilities are frequently unemployed, isolated and--worst of all--n trouble with the criminal justice system (McAfee and Greenawait, 2001; Patton, Cronin and Jairrels, 1997). A 2003 study found that fewer than 40 percent of young adults with disabilities living in rural areas were able to live independently (Sheehey and Black, 2003). In short, the public school system frequently fails these students. Recognition of this problem has led to an increased emphasis on transition planning, particularly in regards to vocational education, career education, work adjustment, and independent living skills (McAfee and Greenawait, 2001). Bibliography lists 11 sources.
