South Carolina Pathways Project (SCPP):

Disability-Led Collaborative Model for Student Success

The purpose of the SCPP is to design, implement, and refine an innovative and multi-component collaborative model within the state of South Carolina to enhance transition services and improve post-secondary outcomes for persons with disabilities.

The project aims to create an innovative and seamless service delivery model to prepare students with disabilities to enter their post-school life with the South Carolina high school diploma, essential living and self-advocacy skills, paid employment experience, and the means to step into their communities prepared for successful futures.

During this 5-year federal grant program, partners will work to:

  • enhance pre-employment transition services to persons with disabilities (PWDs)
  • connect PWDs with innovative services
  • develop alternative pathways to the South Carolina high school diploma
  • provide competitive integrated employment opportunities, such as paid apprenticeships

SCPP Project Goals:

  • Increase rates of PWDs graduating with the South Carolina high school diploma 
  • Emphasize a disability-led approach to transition service delivery 
  • Equip transition professionals in South Carolina to provide optimal transition services and supports 
  • Provide high quality work experiences to SC transition-age youth
