Career and Life Skills Program

The Career and Life Skills program, which includes a certificate option, is designed to improve employment options through college-level coursework that includes life-long learning skills, digital literacy, and career exploration, as well as essential workplace skills through experiential learning opportunities. An individualized, person-centered planning approach provides the flexibility to tailor the program of study based on the student’s needs and interests. This allows the student to explore one or more introductory technical courses as a part of the program while developing the social skills and the general workforce readiness critical to employment and success. The program is open to students with intellectual disabilities and has been approved by the U.S. Department of Education as a Comprehensive Transition to Postsecondary (CTP) program, allowing students an inclusive, collaborative, and personalized higher education program of study in preparation for a fulfilling transition to adult life. Students qualifying for the CTP program are eligible for the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship, which pays any tuition not covered by other federal or state aid for Kentucky residents without a postsecondary degree.
