Partners In Transition Technical Assistance Coordination Project

This project is a continuation from the Partners In Transition Strategic Plan Workgroup Facilitation Project. The result of that project was the development of a State Strategic Plan addressing transition from school to adult life for all youth.

The continuation, The Partners In Transition (PIT) Technical Assistance Coordination Project, will coordinate the available technical assistance with the state and provide technical assistance for the 35 school district Leadership Teams, throughout the state of Florida, that participated in the 2005 PIT Summit as they implement the actions developed during the 2005 Summit. In addition, the project will also be responsible for ongoing update(s) of the PIT State Strategic Plan.
