Did you know that CIS helps students with disabilities successfully transition from school to employment?

Preparing to exit high school can feel like a scary and uncertain time, but CIS’s School-to-Work programs are there to help students across Pennsylvania and Delaware navigate the transition and find success in the workplace.

Through a mix of classroom instruction and paid, community-based work experiences, students get to explore different careers, develop skills that help them ace their job interviews and thrive in their the workplace, and connect to systems of services that aid them both at work and in their lives outside of it.

Our Transition programs help students like Rymair (left), who transitioned from high school into a teaching assistant position at the very same school district from which he graduated, and these incredible Delaware Pre-Employment Transition Students, who learned the ins and outs of running a pizza parlor and ice cream shop during their recent summer internships.
