Transition Tips: Enhancing Postsecondary Education and Training Skills

This Transition Tips session is hosted by Stephanie Lau and Chris Parthemos. They share tips and activities on how you can enhance skills needed in college
while you are at home.

Enhancing postsecondary education and training skills at home is something all students with disabilities can benefit from.

The biggest question students face when leaving high school is what will be next. When students leave high school, they go in many different directions. For an increasing number of students with both high and low incidence disabilities, the next step may be postsecondary education and training.

Postsecondary education and training are for students who want to continue to learn in another environment after high school. Reasons for pursuing further education differ but often include obtaining credentials in a field of interest, experiencing life away from home, or securing a better paying job.

Postsecondary options are varied and may include public or private universities, colleges, community colleges, career/technical schools, vocational/trade schools, centers for continuing education, campus transition programs, and apprenticeship programs. Today’s students may access traditional or online formats as a means of obtaining the education they will need to expand their opportunities and meet their career and life goals.
