Diving Deep into Employment Predictors: Helping Youth with Disabilities Succeed at Work After School

Recorded live during the 2026 ICTW Symposium, this breakout session builds on Dr. Valerie Mazzotti’s keynote address by providing participants with an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the employment and interagency predictors of post-school success. Viewers will learn how to assess their school’s transition program using the Predictor Implementation School/District Self-Assessment (PISA) developed by the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition: the Collaborative (NTACT:C). Throughout the session, Dr. Mazzotti references several resources available on the NTACT:C website at: https://transitionta.org/pisa-self-as.... Viewers are encouraged to access these materials before beginning the session. There will be opportunities to pause the recording and engage in the self-assessment activities using the resources provided on the website. Participants will have an opportunity to evaluate their programs based on the predictors that support employment and interagency collaboration for youth with disabilities, gaining practical strategies to strengthen transition services and improve post-school outcomes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with us at the links below!
