The Youth Transition Program (YTP) is an Oregon Vocational Rehabilitation Services program that serves youth with disabilities statewide. YTP operates as a partnership between OVRS and local school districts with a team from the University of Oregon contracted to provide training and technical assistance. The purpose of the program is to prepare high school youth with disabilities for employment or career related post secondary education or training. University of Oregon has been involved as the primary training and technical assistance provider since 1990. In addition to the training and technical assistance role, University of Oregon, through the College of Education's Secondary Special Education and Transition Services Department has provided extensive program evaluation functions, published numerous articles influenced by YTP outcomes, and also presented in a number of State and National level conferences. YTP was also recognized Nationally as an exemplary model of providing school-to-work services. This video provides a historical backdrop to YTP as it evolved serving over 8000 young adults with disabilities in Oregon.

discovered her own power at RCC "Hard work really pays off, and education is power." Those lessons in tenacious effort and the meaning of education, says Amanda Holbrook, were her biggest takeaways from Rogue Community College. After graduating last June from RCC with a 3.7 GPA, Holbrook transferred to Southern Oregon University where she continues to work hard. A sociology major, Holbrook is taking 16 hours of classes and working in the university's Human Resources and Sociology Department offices. Holbrook, now 24, says working as a student employee in RCC's Counseling Department helped her stay in school, thrive, and discover her own power. "I greatly enjoyed being a Student Services Assistant. Working on campus just made me feel more involved and part of the college," she recalled. "I knew what was going on and met lots of the staff. It helped me evolve as a young woman and as a college student." At one point, however, it was far from clear that her future would turn out well, let alone hold college and academic success. High school was a rough spell, as she struggled with drug abuse, dropped out, then graduated from an alternative high school. At 18, Holbrook says, she "went way off the deep end." However, at 19, she faced a "moral dilemma. I just knew what I was doing was wrong." Now five years into a life clean and sober, Holbrook radiates a positive outlook. "I'm really excited about my prospects and I am looking forward to the future," she declared. Before coming ...
