Transition from School to Work (TSW)

The Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) Division of Employment and Rehabilitation Services (RSA) Transition School to Work (TSW) program is designed to prepare students with disabilities, grade 9 through 12,  for employment. Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselors collaborate with school social workers to ensure multiple avenues of support are available to each student participating in TSW. Students in the TSW program work with their VR counselors to explore employment and post-secondary education opportunities, to obtain work-based learning experiences and workplace readiness training, and to develop social and independent living skills.
