School-to-Work Programs
Highline provides a school to work program to help transition area high school students with special needs from the school setting to the world of work. Highline maintains cooperative agreements with Wisconsin and Michigan school districts to provide youth with realistic and varied work experiences, skill training, and vocational counseling while receiving academic credit from their respective schools. Students are trained to develop work habits, behaviors, attitudes, and social competencies that will help them find and maintain work after graduation.
If you are a high school student and have a disability, Highline can help you explore the world of work and identify your career interests. Skill and educational requirements can be assessed and future job availability explored. Activities such as visiting employers where someone does the job that interests you, working side-by-side with someone in this career, or doing volunteer work are options that may be available to you.
When you are ready to go to work, we can assist you with finding a job based on your interests, abilities, and progress. We have knowledge of employers in our community, and may be able to help locate potential job openings for you. This is an exciting and helpful program for qualifying students.
