Last Friday, Trattoria Stella welcomed students from the Transition Campus Work Experience Program to celebrate the conclusion of a successful year-long partnership. The Work Experience Program provides students with hands-on vocational learning opportunities within the community, helping to develop workplace skills while strengthening communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. With the support of a Job Coach, students are able to explore career interests, build confidence, and gain valuable real-world experiences. We are grateful to Trattoria Stella for hosting our appreciation celebration and for providing meaningful learning opportunities that have contributed to our students' growth and success throughout the school year.
Congratulations to the 2026 graduates of our Bridgeway Program! To celebrate this milestone, families and supporters gathered for a heartfelt ceremony filled with special messages and meaningful gifts. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey—we are so proud of you!
With the utmost joy, we present to you the North Ed Transition Campus class of 2026! This graduation ceremony for Life Skills Center (LSC) and Adult Community Experience (ACE) students marks the end of one journey, and the beginning of many others, as several graduates bring the skills they’ve learned in our programs to new employment opportunities, such as Grand Traverse Industries. The work done at our Transition Campus truly embodies North Ed’s vision: partnering to ensure every learner will have pathways to a meaningful life. It has been an honor to watch each of you grow, adapt and thrive. We can’t wait to cheer you on as you conquer the world! Congratulations, graduates.
