A learning and career plan outlines important steps that you will take before you leave high school. It is a good idea to develop this plan early—you can use the information you gather for your learning and career plan to develop your transition plan. A learning and career plan will help you:
• identify requirements for post-secondary programs that interest you
• ensure that the post-secondary institutions you are interested in offer services and resources to support your disability
• get to know (online or in person) the programs and institutions you are interested in
• research application deadlines for post-secondary programs
• identify scholarships and their application deadlines
• keep track of skills development.
The following chart lists some of the key steps you will take to develop an effective learning and career plan. If you have already accomplished a task, put today's date in the "Date completed" column. Add any other steps you can think of in the blank rows at the end.
