Transition from School to Work

Welcome to the Deer Valley High School Transition from School to Work (TSW) Program website. Information regarding the TSW program as well as links to other useful resources can be found here.  At Deer Valley High School, we are fortunate to be home to a Transition from School to Work program.  This is a formal transition program jointly funded by DVUSD and Vocational Rehabilitation, completely dedicated to assisting high school students with IEPs or 504s to transition into adult life through learning employability skills and exploring career opportunities.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or inquires.

Office: (602)467-6777

 

The DVUSD Vocational Rehabilitation—Transition School to Work Program  (DVUSD VR-TSW Program) is a joint effort between the AZ Department of Economic Security—Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and the Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD). While DVUSD offers a variety of educational and extracurricular opportunities to support transition, a unique partnership with RSA allows us to provide enhanced services for students who apply for and meet the eligibility criteria for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services.  Enhanced services can include supplemental instruction and community experiences  designed to facilitate successful transition to employment. Students may enroll in an elective course designed  to provide additional transition skills training (Career Inquiry/Career Development) or receive ancillary services threaded throughout the high school routine and/or embedded in other transition focused classes or programs, such as CTE courses.
