S.W.A.T. - Serve Inc's Work Academics and Transition Program

"Enter to Learn, Leave to Achieve!" 

Serve Inc.'s Work, Academics and Transition Program (S.W.A.T.) is designed specifically for high school students who qualify for school to work transition planning. The unique program is sponsored by several local school districts in Bradford and Sullivan Counties to ensure students with IEPs (Individual Education Plan) have the opportunity to learn new skills and prepare them for competitive employment and independent living. The program is designed to take advantage of the student's strengths and preferences in order to identify the career path with the maximum potential for the student.

In partnership with a school district's Special Education Department, students, parents, and community support services, all full-time students will receive individualized academic instruction based on the goals set forth in the IEP. These services are provided by Pennsylvania certified teachers holding Bachelor's of Science degrees in Education, certifications in Special Education K-12, and are highly qualified in the four core subjects.

Full-time and part-time students will learn job skills and receive community work experiences at several local businesses. Job coaches and academic instructors work together to develop strategies to support the student's successful performance in the classroom and job performance.

Life skills training focuses on the acquisition of skills such as money management, banking, shopping, simple meal planning and preparation.
