School-Based Enterprise Toolkit
Download: School Based Enterprise Toolkit_2_28_19_PDF
The Toolkit is designed to assist districts in implementing programs and practices that increase the percentage of students with disabilities, including those with significant disabilities, to graduate prepared for success in postsecondary education and employment.
The toolkit explains the importance of, and process for, developing school-based work experiences and focuses primarily on how to develop a school-based enterprise. This toolkit is intended to be a practical guide for local educators and leaders on how to develop and implement a school-based enterprise, as well as understand how this process could assist students with disabilities in gaining employment skills needed for obtaining competitive integrated employment after high school.
