S.T.E.P. (Secondary Transitional Experience Program) is a training/placement program that prepares students with disabilities for transition to employment and community participation during and after high school. The goal of S.T.E.P. is to provide experiences that will most effectively prepare students for life after high school by assisting the students in developing desirable work habits and realistic career goals; providing opportunities for students to explore careers and gain meaningful work experiences through on-the-job placement; and helps students develop the social and personal skills to maintain successful employment. High school students with disabilities are eligible. S.T.E.P. is a partnership between the school, employers, and the Illinois Department of Human Services/Office of Rehabilitation Services.
