The transition from school to work is an exciting, yet intimidating process. SCE LifeWorks would like to work together as part of a team to make this transition successful for young graduates and their families.
We at SCE LifeWorks are interested in getting to know students while they are still in high school to help facilitate a smooth transition from school to work. We encourage teachers to invite us to meetings to discuss our involvement in the transition process.
Summer Program for high School Students
To help prepare students for that leap into the working world, we offer a summer program which allows young people the opportunity to gain work experience, better preparing them for what lies ahead following school. Working together with a job coach, these students have the opportunity to test out a career and gain experience travelling to and from their job and working in the community. For more information, please click on the Summer Program link, or contact the SCE LifeWorks office.
Person-Centred Support
It is important that young people are encouraged to participate in the community and receive support from a network of friends and family. SCE LifeWorks believes that individuals should be making decisions on their own behalf. We also believe that families play a very important role in supporting individuals to make informed decisions. That is why SCE LifeWorks believes in working closely with families and support team members to best support individuals. Family involvement also ensures that SCE LifeWorks staff have the fullest understanding of the individual, including his/her interests and support needs, to provide the best and most person-centred support possible.
