Success Stories
High School/High Tech programs are forging partnerships
that help expose young people with disabilities to a wide
range of technology careers...from computers to biotechnology...from
transportation to weather tracking...from landscape design
to healthcare. Here are some of the highlights of the successes
of HS/HT programs.
The State of Florida recognizes that some students who
are entitled to services while in school will be ineligible
for adult services once they leave school. To prepare these
students for a successful transition into the workforce
or to pursue higher education, HS/HT provides extra guidance
and support.
The Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities
honored several Oklahoma High School students with disabilities
for projects on technology careers. Oklahoma's Secretary
of State Susan Savage served as keynote speaker for the
event which awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships
to the students on April 7, 2004 at the State Capitol.
