Work experiences are a critical component of preparing youth for transition to adulthood. The Ninth Annual Transition Hiring Event highlights the talents and skills of those ages 16-24. We believe the future is now! Disabled youth are invited to meet with employers recruiting to fill summer job opportunities, full-time & part-time positions, and internships.

Benefits to employers parterning with transition vocational rehabilitation:

• Valuable information about tax credits and hiring incentives for the disabled population entering into the workforce.

• Establishment and reinforcement of partnerships with the single largest minority group (disabled population) which represents nearly $1 trillion in annual income.

• The ability to connect with pre-screened candidates that are career ready and coachable saving time & money in the recruitment process.

• Candidates who have received intensive 'soft skills' training helping them to overcome barriers in the workplace, which is crucial for career success.
