About this event

The Center for Adult Transition believes everyone deserves purposeful academic and workforce opportunities in which one feels productive and prospers in their way. The Center for Adult Transition is within the School of Continuing Education and Workforce Development. The mission of Hudson County Community College’s Center for Adult Transition is consistent with the overall College mission by providing young adults diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities up to the age of twenty-four with the support and resources for the successful transition from secondary school to academic pathways, workforce training, skill development, and/or independent living in service of helping them meet their personal and professional goals. Our overall mission is to inspire those who are developmentally disabled to transition into the HCCC academic community and culture to build relationships that create and illuminate opportunities for the HCCC’s CAT students that advance social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic success into adulthood. HCCC’s commitment to removing cognitive and noncognitive barriers and the College’s 2021-24 Strategic Plan of making our community feel “Hudson is Home.”

Frequently asked questions

What comes after the Program?

That's up to the person, we cultivate with you through the duration of the program helping you even after the program in our 90 Day Post Follow Along.

What is VR Career Exploration Lab?

The VR Career Exploration Lab is where our students can start getting some practical skills for a career of their interest without having to be on the physical worksite. This way the student can start learning if that career pathway is truly what they want or if they liked to pursue another career.

Can I opt out of the VR Career Exploration Lab?

YES! We have a requirement for the student to take a minimal of at least 3 sessions before they decide to opt out. *THIS WILL NOT REDUCE THE COST OF TUITION*
