The Adult Transition Center (ATC) at Sussex County Community College is a two-year, post-secondary program for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities; including career exploration with on-site job coaching.
Functional Academics encourage life-skills and social skills, which are essential for success and will be an area of focus in the Adult Transitions curricula. Participants will gain skills in a safe, student-centered environment and practice them during community-based opportunities; such as tutoring, fitness center, mentoring, library, student clubs and organizations.
Peer mentoring can build a deeper understanding of vocational and social-emotional skills; an essential part of a successful transition. These skills aid in building independence and confidence; encouraging participants to strive for new and higher goals.
Career exploration will allow students to sample jobs and shadow individuals, in a vocational practicum, to gain a deeper understanding of their field of interest and help them choose a career path.
Eligibility for the Adult Transition Program requires that students must be between 18-24 years old and have a documented disability.
Project administered by OSHE using County College-based Center for Adult Transition Grant.
