Building skills for life
Community Based Transition Program
SBLSD's Community Based Transition Program (CBTP) teaches life skills to special education students ages 18-22. Partnering with local businesses in our Sumner and Bonney Lake communities, interns experience real-world work environments, learning hard skills like stocking shelves, sweeping and facility maintenance, and soft skills like teamwork, leadership and adaptability. Interns also work to increase their level of independence while at job sites.
