John & Anna are second year students here at the Transition Program. They are currently living in Oakdale and accessing transportation through Transit Link public transportation services. John & Anna both have had previous job experiences through our program. John completed internship at Papa John's and worked a paid job at McDonalds. Anna worked at a paid position for a McDonalds for 6 months and completed a job experience at Hopple Popple Bakery.
Both students participate in Financial Literacy, FACS Cooking and Independent Living classes. John & Anna are accessing home living services through Washington County and Life Works. John stated "I like the fact that I can still attend the classes and learn Life Skills as well as have the rest of the day to work in the community" Anna stated " I would still like to have more assistance to meet my learning goals before I graduate from the program". Both students are happy for the Transition Program to be a part of their busy schedules and moving on to their independent adult lives.
