Section K – D/M SELPA Managed Programs The Career Technical Education (CTE) team currently operates the programs listed below. These programs are not mandated under state law, but are available to students who meet criteria for each program. • California Career Innovations (CCi). The core and research interventions serve as the framework for CCi and provide an array of opportunities available to students. Embedded within each of these interventions are multiple activities and tasks. The interventions are guided by a person-driven approach leading to Person-Driven Plans (PDPs) and Individualized Career Action Plans (ICAPs). The ultimate outcomes for CCi students are Postsecondary Education (PSE) and/or Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) in a career related position. • Employment Network (EN). The goal of EN is to help individuals become employed and work their way off benefits completely, but not immediately. EN can offer adults returning to the workforce a clear vision of what to expect concerning their disability benefits. Information about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) rules and procedures are clearly explained. Pre-employment assistance, job development, and SSA benefits planning, provide individuals returning to work the necessary services and supports to be successful. • Paid Internship Program (PIP). The PIP is a collaborative effort between the Inland Regional Center (IRC) and the SELPA CTE team. The purpose of the program is to increase the vocational skills and abilities of the students served who choose, through IRC’s Individualized Program Plan (IPP) process, to participate in the internship. The acquisition of work experience and skills should lead to fulltime Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) in the same job. • Transition Partnership Program (TPP): This is an interagency contract with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and the CAHELP JPA. The TPP builds partnerships between LEAs and the DOR for the purposes of successfully transitioning high school students with disabilities into meaningful employment and/or postsecondary education. The focus is to help a select number of students between the ages of 16 – 21 with an IEP or 504 plan, or documented disability. • WorkAbility I Project (WAI). WAI is funded by the California Department of Education (CDE), Special Education Division. Each WAI program site receives an annual grant award letter, which declares the funds for the program based on the number of students served and the number of students placed for paid work experience. Each program develops practices and procedures to implement the WAI program within their own LEA. Considerations include who will deliver the curriculum, scheduling, and availability of students within their school day. The mission of WAI is to promote the involvement of key stakeholders including students, families, educators, employers, and other agencies in planning and implementing an array
