PLANNING FOR COMPETITIVE INTEGRATED EMPLOYMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL
This Employment Resource Guide is designed for high school students with disabilities. The guide outlines a series of exercises to prepare students for graduation and the choice to move into competitive integrated employment. Some may ask: “what is competitive integrated employment”? Competitive Integrated Employment occurs when: the student/employee is working full or part-time at minimum wage or higher, with wages and benefits similar to those without disabilities performing the same work, and fully integrated with coworkers without disabilities.
As students begin their high school careers, it is important to add activities to their Individualized Education Program (IEP) that provide a blend of academic and experiential learning opportunities such as: job shadowing, workplace tours, informational interviews, online career area of interest research, participation in work experiences and/or internships, and learning about needed accommodations and assistive technology needs.
