The Transition Partnership Program (T.P.P.) is a cooperative contract between the Kern high School District and the California Department of Rehabilitation. The primary goal of the Transition partnership Program is to prepare students for entry into the workforce and promote success, as they make the transition from high school to competitive employment.
T.P.P. consists of an extensive support team of school staff, Job Developers, Job Coaches and Counselors from the Department of Rehabilitation.  Through the Transition Partnership Program, students participate in a curriculum that includes work ethics, specific job skills, self-awareness, social skills, career and community awareness and independent living skills.  The program is designed to teach job skills leading to employment.

 
The T.P.P. team is capable of assisting students with a wide range of support that includes:
  • A structured curriculum
  • Community job training and placement
  • Job coaching and shadowing
  • Money management training
  • Mobility Training

Working hand-in hand towards the ultimate goal of competitive employment.  The team is dedicated to successful transitioning of high school graduates into the workforce.
The success of T.P.P. can be attributed to the cooperation and communication among Kern High School District personnel, California Department of Rehabilitation, the efforts of the students and the parental support and encouragement that comes from home.
