Model Transition Program - Job Readiness Curriculum

The MTP Job Readiness Curriculum was designed by the NYS Rehabilitation Research and Training Institute (NYS RRTI which is now the New York Alliance for Inclusion & Innovation) in partnership with the University of Buffalo back in 2009. The curriculum designed to help students with disabilities become knowledgeable about the world of work, and includes modules on Setting Goals, the Job Hunt, First Impressions, Professionalism at Work, Managing Work and Personal Life, Confidence on the Job, and Middle School preparation.

All 8 modules are in alignment with New York State Learning Standards and each module contains at least 3 student activities, handouts, background information on  the job readiness topic, information on other resources throughout the Job Readiness program and how to use them, supplemental handouts, workbook pages, and an annotated list of additional resources available on-line and from educational organizations.
