Youth Transition Services
Opportunity Partners Youth Transition Services is able to provide employment opportunities to transition students in two different settings:
1. Students who may require more direct supervision may be placed in our non-community based pre-vocational production floor where they will work on light assembly and packaging jobs. Wages are based on a time study that measures productivity value.
2. Students who are more independent may be placed on a Supported Employment Team (SET) and work in a community-based supervised setting.
Admission Criteria
