Career education and life skills training assist students of all ages in acquiring basic skills required to successfully make the transition to the work place and the community at large. Students gain independence in the kitchen, learn to do laundry and housekeeping tasks, and they can work cooperatively with their teachers on functional academics, i.e., measuring liquids, solids, and temperature and viewing the practical application of electricity.
