To advance equitable, transformative, and sustainable educational experiences that develop learners, schools, libraries, and communities in Wisconsin.
The Transition Readiness Grant (TRG) program is aimed at supporting Wisconsin’s students with disabilities to smoothly transition to competitive work and post-secondary education environments after high school. With a base funding of $1,500,000, established under 2017 Act 59, the program targets evidence-based practices that facilitate this transition. Eligible entities, including school districts and charter schools, can apply for funding to cover transportation options, Competitive Integrated Employment Training Programs, post-secondary tuition/supports for students, and transition training for staff members.
