Gain Job and Life Skills for Transitioning to Independence in Adulthood

The LIFE program provides training, support and community integration programming to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The goal of our two-year program is to offer students classroom and practical learning opportunities in and outside of the community college environment that will prepare them to transition into independent adults.

Sierra College is working collaboratively with Alta California Regional Center (ACRC) to establish itself as a vendor to support students in building the skills needed to achieve their goals as described in their Individual Program Plan (IPP).

What to Expect

Students in our two-year program will be taught using Learn4Independence® curriculum that provides courses in:

Work / Finances

Living On My Own / Transportation

Health / Nutrition / Safety

Identity / Community / Relationships

Solutions / Organization

Etiquette

Through this scaffolded curriculum, students will receive support and guidance to focus on skills to promote independent living and employment. This will enable students to transition into adulthood with greater self-sufficiency and autonomy.

In addition to the curriculum, students will demonstrate their knowledge by working on campus and/or in the surrounding community to achieve their own goals in education, employment and independence.

Eligibility

To meet the preliminary criteria, applicants need to be:

18 - 26 years of age

An Alta California Regional Center consumer

Additionally, it is essential that applicants:

Express a desire to participate in the LIFE program

Be motivated to live independently

Have a career goal that will result in competitive, integrated employment

Agree to the timeframe of the program hours (7 hours per day, 5 days per week)

Participate in activities, training and instruction during program hours

Agree, in writing, to follow Sierra College/LIFE program policies and rules prior to acceptance in the program

How to Apply
