The Arc of Carroll County offers many opportunities for transitioning youth through our Educational Partnerships. This program is in its 12th year and has vastly increased over the last two years. Through a partnership with The Carroll County Public Schools (CCPS), The Arc is currently subcontracted to educate CCPS students in three of their post-secondary programs:
MSTC - The Maryland Seamless Transition Collaborative is utilizing The Arc of Carroll County’s vocational resources and community connections.
VOICE – Through the Vocational Opportunities for Independent Change and Empowerment program, The Arc instructs students in the area of Vocational Readiness.
TCP – Instructors from The Arc educate students on the subject of Career Management through the Transition Connection Program.
The Arc also offers High School Outreach. The Arc provides resources and supports to students currently enrolled in high school upon request from their LFI teachers. Community based outings, career exploration, job sampling and self determination are some of the areas that are utilized.
In addition, The Arc supports student’s employment goals in the Summer Outreach Program by partnering with The Division of Rehabilitation Services to provide job-coaching support to students employed throughout the summer months. Students must be DORS eligible and currently employed.
