- U.S. Dept. of Labor: Office of Disability Employment ODEP works to influence national policy and promote effective workplace practices to ensure that today’s — and tomorrow’s — workforce engages all people, including people with disabilities. As a result, one important policy focus area is youth transitioning from school to adulthood and the world of work.
ODEP’s work in the youth arena is based on the Guideposts for Success. The Guideposts represent what research and practice has identified as key educational and career development interventions that make a positive difference in the lives of all youth, including youth with disabilities.
The five Guideposts are as follows:
1. School-Based Preparatory Experiences
2. Career Preparation and Work-Based Learning Experiences
3. Youth Development and Leadership
4. Connecting Activities
5. Family Involvement and Supports
