The idea behind Vermilion's
Transition Planning Committee

A Transition Planning Committee (TPC) is a consortium of local members of schools, agencies, and not-for-profit organizations, parents of children with disabilities and people with disabilities that band together to improve the transition life-cycle from high school to a successful adult life.

As part of the Education to Careers (ETC) school to work initiative, the Illinois general assembly enacted legislation that the Department of Rehabilitation Services (DHS-DRS) coordinate the creation of local Transition Planning Committees.
