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.
