Transition Coordination Services for Young Adults

 

Young business man thinking.

Northeast Career Planning's Transition Coordination Services ensures that students are prepared for employment, post-secondary education and/or community living when they enter the adult world.

The transition coordination process at Northeast Career Planning addresses a wide array of young adult skills for learning, working, community living and self-determination. In addition to what the students learn while in school, NCP assists in the planning for what types of services and goals a young adult will need once they leave school.
