The WorkAbility Program provides comprehensive pre-employment job skills training, job placement and follow-up for high school students in Special Education, who are making the transition from school to work, independent living and post secondary education or training. The program has been recognized as one of the 10 best transition programs of its type in the nation. This program is available at all the schools within the Roseville Joint Union High School District.

The funding comes in the form of a grant from the federal government that is administered through the California State Department of Education. The program is a joint effort among schools, community agencies and private industry to help students make the transition from school to the world of work.
