This includes implementing a structure for ensuring pre-employment transition services and vocational rehabilitation services are made available statewide for those who need these services.

• DEED’s VRS and MDE’s Special Education and Career and College Success Divisions will collaborate and promote transition to adult services through participation in existing councils, committees, and other workgroups within respective agencies.

• DEED’s VRS will ensure that a counselor(s) is assigned to each school district and charter school in the state who will provide consultation and technical assistance to LEA staff on an as-needed basis related to the transition of students with disabilities from school to post-school activities.

• MDE’s Special Education and Career and College Success Divisions in consultation with DEED’s VRS will develop training and communication tools for the LEA staff regarding WIOA and how it intersects with IDEA and the schools.
