Transitions:  Preparing For The Next Step

The next step in transitions class is preparing for independent living and career interests.  The students experience things like planning a budget for an event, then going to the store to purchase the items needed.  They also visit businesses to grasp the types of jobs that make them run.  They work on compiling a resume', and have mock job interviews.  This leads to job site visits and short-term internships where they are immersed in a work environment for which they have expressed an interest.  All of this helps Hope students prepare for life after they graduate.
