Job Coach Services (Career and Transition Services)

Job coaches help students who can be independent on a job but need individualized, short-term, on-the-job support and training to succeed.

Job coach services support students' success as independent workers. Job coaches assist students with disabilities who can work on their own but need short-term support to succeed in a community work experience.  They fade their support once the student works without the coach's help.

A student can access job coach services through their employment and transition representative (ETR) at their high school.
