A work program for Sussex Consortium students with disabilities is helping about 70 young adults learn job skills so they can transition to the workplace after graduation.The program, open to students 14–21 years old, places students based on their interests and employer needs. About 50 local businesses participate. Students must apply and interview for jobs and practice proper job etiquette, such as offering two week’s notice if they plan to switch to another place of employment.
