In the past, young people with disabilities completing special education at age 21 had limited expectations of getting a \u201creal\u201d job. The ministries of Social Affairs and Education have joined together to develop a new program aimed at changing that reality. This national pilot program provides life skills and vocational experience to young people with a range of disabilities ages 16-21 in the secondary educational system.\u00a0 The program is far more than job preparation workshops in the schools; it provides exposure to a variety of work options in the real work world and helps develop &#8220;soft&#8221; job skills.
