Initial Partners Bellevue School District Workforce Development Council, King County D.S.H.S. Division of Vocational Rehabilitation WorkSource Redmond Center for Change in Transition Services, Seattle University

History Post school data collected in Washington State indicated less than 50% of special education graduates had established linkages with agencies in their communities. Data indicated that teachers were unaware of WorkSource services. Data indicated that “DVR” was identified as a linkage on the IEP but little efforts were made to connect students.

History, Continued WDC, King County, grant available. Grant was written by the Center for Change and Bellevue School District. CCTS provided technical assistance, training and research. WDC personnel provided additional support. DVR provided technical assistance and support.

Student Goals Students in special education in will utilize WorkSource services. Students will connect with DVR and other community agencies/resources while still in school. Students will develop a plan for life after high school. Post-school outcomes will increase for student in special education.

Student Activities Participate in Job Hunter workshops at WorkSource. Participate in “Project Me.” Participate in Magellan vocational assessment. Develop a portfolio. Complete Passport. Final Presentation.

Staff Goals Educators, WorkSource and DVR personnel will: Participate in training opportunities. Collaborate to share information about agencies. Collaborate to replicate model.

Year 2: Bellevue High Schools (50-75 students). 6 workshops at WorkSource (per school). Year long project. Internships, community assessments. Employer Fair for students (spring).

Year 2: Goals In-service to partners. Monthly meetings WorkSource and school staff prepare for youth visits. Technical assistance team reviews progress, provides updates and problem solves with teachers and WorkSource instructors.
