On the job, the student will fill out a “How I am doing worksheet”. The employer and the job coach will do the same. The job coach will go over the results of the worksheet and provide feedback to the student.

10. Transitional Training • One type of training place is the Mid-Del Tech Center. • We are Continually working on our relationship with them to expand program options for students with disabilities. • We have our teachers fill out check sheet to give data to the tech center for placement of our students in the proper program. • The Tech-Center will then interview each student to see what program or classes might be best for them. The MDTC does an excellent job of placing students upon completion of programs or some skill sets.
