Non-Paid Community-Based Vocational Educational (CBVE) Programs
Technical
Assistance
Paper
Educators throughout Florida are working to ensure that students obtain high levels of achievement and
successfully transition to adult life.
Implementing quality programs for students with disabilities in
community-based settings is an important component in this statewide transition effort.
We are pleased to present the technical assistance paper (TAP),
Non-Paid Community-Based Vocational
Educational (CBVE) Programs
. The purpose of the TAP is to identify applicable guidelines for non-paid
community-based vocational educational programs and offer recommendations that although not required
would constitute promising practice. The TAP includes information about U.S. Departments of Labor and
Education policy guidelines, CBVE and the transition individual educational plan (IEP), and suggestions for
documenting CBVE.
The TAP will be available online at the following website:
http://www.firn.edu/doe/commhome/pub-home.htm.
We trust this TAP will assist school districts in providing quality programs for students with disabilities.
For questions or clarification, please refer to the contact information for Janet Adams listed above.
