Post Secondary Education Rehabilitation and Transition - The Postsecondary Education Rehabilitation Transition (PERT) Program, a collaborative program supported by the Virginia Departments of Education and administered through the Department of Rehabilitative Services at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center (WWRC), is a highly effective school-to-work transition initiative for eligible youth with disabilities available to all Virginia local school divisions. The PERT Program operates from a best practices model in which youth and adult service providers partner to provide an integrated continuum of secondary to postsecondary transition services for participating clients. Parents and former PERT clients are integral members of the PERT Advisory Committee. PERT administrators work jointly with an interagency Transition Partners group which guides youth in transition efforts throughout the state.(PERT)

WWRC Business Information Technology Vocational Training - The Woodrow Wilson Center for Employments on-site training programs offer career pathways leading to employment opportunities in business and information technology fields. Each of these career pathways emphasizes externally validated skills attainment through industry certification requirements and community-based internships with employers as business mentors. All on-site Business and Information Technology career pathways require demonstration of foundation skills (link to core assessment task sheet) common across programs as a prerequisite to full enrollment in a given training curriculum (keyboarding; computer concepts and software applications; customer services; and, study skills). At any point within this career pathway, including core skills, students may test out of specific program requirements and this type of demonstrated mastery would be noted as such on their task sheet. Some career pathways have multiple exit points leading to successful completion of the training program

Vocational Rehabilitation Services: Jack's Jobs - Watch this funny video that mixes an informational interview with a high school's mascot, the Lumber Jack. Watch how the Lumber Jack gives silent comedic relief while several students show case how Vocational Rehabilitation Services helped them with college and careers after high school. The real question is if The Jack is working hard or hardly working! The project, Innovative Partnerships for Advancing Youth Employment, was the concept of PACER. All of the teens involved in the internship project have disabilities, and they learned new job skills while creating several videos to teach others how to navigate their own transition into adulthood after high school. This innovative PACER project was funded by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Services. The project, which provided a paid internship opportunity for students with disabilities, was a creative collaboration of postsecondary programs, workforce development, PACER Center staff, and students from two high schools. The intended video audience is for students, family, professionals, and teachers.
