Overview

The Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) Toolkit is a comprehensive guide developed by the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) to improve post-school employment outcomes for students with disabilities. It provides a clear overview of CIE, transition services, interagency collaboration, and professional development strategies. While designed for professionals, the toolkit is also a valuable resource for families seeking to understand how employment systems work and how to support their child’s path to meaningful work.

Description

Families can use this toolkit to learn how schools, vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies, and community partners work together to support employment goals. It outlines best practices for transition planning, highlights the importance of early work experiences, and explains how to build a coordinated support network. The CIE Toolkit empowers families to advocate for inclusive employment opportunities and helps them become informed partners in their child’s journey toward independence and career success.
