Transition Services
Richland One provides transition services for students with disabilities when they become fourteen years of age. Transition skills prepare students for life after high school in the areas of employment, daily living skills, recreation and leisure activities, and post-secondary education.

Transition activities at the school level may include the following: career/interest surveys, career exploration, career and technology education, job placement (volunteer or paid), post-secondary education planning, and referrals to appropriate agencies. All students with disabilities have access to appropriate career and technology education programs.
