Having the right support team is crucial as students move in to post-secondary life. One of the critical supports is that of the Department of Employment and Economic Development.Here are some of the thoughts from DEED:
“If you have a disability, our Vocational Rehabilitation Services unit can help you prepare for, find and keep a job, and live as independently as possible.”
With the right kind of training, preparation and workplace accommodations, people with disabilities can have rewarding careers.” -www.positivelyminnesota.com
SO WHAT NEXT? Depending on your educational journey, consider the following:
* The person that assists you with services depends on where you live
* You need to apply for services, and you are highly recommended to do so before the end of your senior year
* Your case manager and/or transitions coordinator can guide you through this process!
