WorkAbility I
The mission of WAI is to promote the involvement of key stakeholders including students, families, educators, employers, and other agencies in planning and implementing an array of services that will culminate in successful student transition to employment, lifelong learning, and quality of life.
eLIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES
Students with an active Individual Education Plan (IEP) that attend a Pajaro Valley USD middle or high school are eligible to receive services. These services, however, are not mandated by the IEP and should not be confused with transition services which are a required component. Eligible students may receive some, many, or all school-based components but not all eligible students will be placed in a paid work-based experience.
