Career Goals

Students must be supported to consider and establish employment goals for their future that are self-determined, individualized and have been developed with direct involvement of students themselves, parents, family, and other team members. Coursework and planning for students should follow the goals that are established and direct experiences taken into consideration as goals evolve.
