“Making the transition from school to adult life can be challenging for many young people including for youth with an intellectual disability. While many young people will attend college or university after high school, many others will try to enter the labour force following graduation. Without adequate planning and preparation the transition from school to employment can be even more challenging. For young people with an intellectual disability, planning and preparation for work can mean the difference between becoming active job seekers and workers in their communities and sitting at home with few or no prospects for employment.”
