The goal of the Transition and Placement Program is to help individuals with disabilities who are enrolling at Nicolet College to become better educated, more employable, and more independent.
We provide assistance in making educational and career decisions, setting and achieving goals, securing appropriate accommodations, and entering the world-of-work.
We value your unique abilities, preferences, and needs. Because of this, our program provides individualized, student-driven program plans.
Please contact our program as early as possible, so that we may provide you with maximum support services.
Personal Interview
First, we sit down and discuss ideas you have about career and educational direction. If the decision has been made to attend Nicolet College, we discuss the steps that need to be taken in that process.
Self Awareness
If you haven't already done so, we will spend some time exploring your interests, skills, aptitudes, personality, values, work history, and possible barriers. From this information we will develop a self-assessment summary.
Exploring Careers
Next, we'll see how your self- assessment summary fits with various careers. We'll use printed materials, videos, computer programs, job shadowing, and informational interviews with employers to learn more about possible career choices. Developing a Plan:
After choosing a career direction, we'll develop an educational and occupational plan to meet your goals. During each semester we will meet periodically to see how you are progressing and make adjustments in your plan if necessary.
Entering the World of Work
