About Transitions

SIPDC provides professional development in the areas of Bridge development, ICAPS/IET development and sustainability. Additionally, career development, transition services and contextualized instruction are focuses of professional development to assist programs in transitioning adult education students to post-secondary and/or the workforce.

As part of the transitioning professional development, SIPDC works in partnership with the Illinois Center for Specialized Professional Support, the ICCB CTE professional development center to provide the Transitions Academy. The Transitions Academy is designed to assist colleges and partnerships working on developing Bridge and ICAPS (Integrated Career and Academic Preparation System) programs by increasing awareness of the expanding partnership between Adult Education and Career and Technical Education as it relates to the IET/ICAPS models, Illinois Bridge programs, and Illinois Programs of Study.
