Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.
SCHOOL TO WORK TRANSITION PROGRAM - Highline provides a school to work program to help transition area high school students from the school setting to the world of work. Highline maintains cooperative agreements with Wisconsin and Michigan school districts to provide youth with realistic and varied work experiences, skill training, and vocational counseling while receiving academic credit from their respective schools. Students are trained to develop work habits, behaviors, attitudes, and social competencies that will help them find and maintain work after graduation.
If you are a high school student, Highline can help you explore the world of work and identify your career interests. Skill and educational requirements can be assessed and future job availability explored. Activities such as visiting employers where someone does the job that interests you, working side-by-side with someone in this career, or doing volunteer work are options that may be available to you.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
