K TO 12 TRANSITION CURRICULUM FOR LEARNERS WITH DISABILITIES
DESCRIPTION
Schools play a big role in preparing learners for the workforce. They can build capacity and enhance personal development.
The honing of learner’s skills, talents, and abilities needed in work happens in school. Gaining skills and career awareness will enable
the learners to make informed decisions about their chosen profession or vocation. Enhancing personal development increases self-
esteem and makes one feel good about oneself. It also improves learner’s ability to deal with others which is needed in work. Such
holistic training makes for a success oriented career preparation.
However, finding the right fit between training and employment can be challenging. Learners with disabilities encountered
difficulty even at the level of on-the-job training and apprenticeship. This necessitates intelligent networking with the community,
specifically the business sector, to access support and services. A thorough situational analysis could define what the business sector
needs and what the schools can offer. This would enable schools to develop a highly contextualized transition curriculum that could
successfully transition LWDs from school to work given a particular locale.
The curriculum content covers the identification of equal opportunity business establishments, possible jobs, and types of
employment that they can engage in. This covers competitive employment, supported employment, sheltered employment and
customized employment. However, career skills are not simply for job placement; it is also for the pursuit of a meaningful life that
matches the learner’s goals, interests and abilities. Being equipped with career skills and the knowledge on career choices would
allow the LWDs to have satisfaction and fulfillment in life.
