About CTI
It is the vision of the Virginia Department of Education to create a centralized statewide portal for information, resources, demonstration, and research for educators and other stakeholders in the transition of youth with disabilities. The Center on Transition Innovations (CTI) at Virginia Commonwealth University provides evidence-based resources and information along with emerging practices in the field. The results of research studies and demonstration projects conducted here in Virginia help us shape the ongoing work of CTI.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide information, resources, demonstration and research on pathways to employment that support youth with disabilities to gain access to integrated competitive employment to the fullest extent possible. Through participation in evidence-based employment and work experience models, higher education or postsecondary education training, youth can become integral members of their communities.
Research and Demonstration
CTI’s research and demonstration projects are funded through the Virginia Department of Education. Much of the work we conduct with our collaborators has one goal: to provide information on pathways that lead to integrated competitive employment for youth with disabilities. The results of our work help to shape the development of our online resources.
What Makes Us Innovative
We’re not just saying it, we’re doing it. In addition to offering rich information to support the improvement of transition outcomes, we are in the field demonstrating and researching employment and postsecondary education models to better serve youth with disabilities.
