Career Education and Transition

New Road Schools of New Jersey offer extensive transition and career training programs, including Career Classes, Internships, Worked Based Learning (WBL), Community Based Instruction (CBI), and Job Placements. We emphasize real-life preparation, focusing on responsibilities, community involvement, and practical skills.

Transition preparation begins as early as third grade, with a focus on building work skills, resilience, and self-reliance. Each school features a "Micro-community" where students practice life and work skills in a simulated town center environment.

Student interests are assessed through interest inventories, guiding them towards suitable career paths. Our programs include lessons on dress and grooming, time management, social skills, and workplace responsibilities.

By the time students reach formal transition age, they are well-prepared to explore individual interests and develop their natural talents. We provide just the right balance of independence and support, ensuring a smooth transition to adult life.

Our partnerships with local businesses and organizations allow us to offer diverse transition and career training options, both in school and in the community, tailored to each student's needs.
