Weld RE-4 Exceptional Students in Transition (WEST) Program
The WEST Program offers community-based transition services for students between the ages of 18-21 who continue to have transition needs as they relate to their post secondary goals. This program works to build the skills necessary to living as independently as possible. The team participates in work based learning activities while developing the social skills needed for home and work.
These students have graduated from the traditional high school setting, and now attend the WEST Program three-days per week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This program is part-time and focuses on post secondary school goals. The focus is to apply core academic skills to functional, real life hands-on experiences.
The team works to provide instruction and experiences directly related to the life skills necessary for independence and competitive work.
Support From Businesses
WEST student workers currently complete job tasks locally including cleaning businesses, delivering meals, organizing meals for distribution, providing services to local veterans, distributing flyers for local businesses, and being ambassadors for good will as they embark upon potential careers. The WEST students know that they represent the future and strive to perform well in both work and professional behavior.
