The Learning & Working Rehabilitation Research and Training Center
Our Mission: The Learning & Working During the Transition to Adulthood, Rehabilitation Research, and Training RRTC is a national effort that aims to improve the supports for youth and young adults, ages 14-25, with serious mental health conditions to successfully complete their schooling and training and move into rewarding work lives.
The Center's three goals:
- Explore Alternate Policy Pathways to Promote Career Development Outcomes
- Conduct Research & Development Activities to Enhance Human Capital Outcomes
- Translate New Knowledge to Innovate Policy, Programs, and Practices.
These goals will drive all activities in the Learning & Working RRTC to beneficially impact young adults with serious mental health conditions. The Learning & Working RRTC focuses on the most critical career development issues facing transition-age youth and young adults to generate new knowledge and rapidly move research to practice by leveraging our deep expertise in interventions, research and development, and knowledge translation.
Over the next five years, the Learning & Working RRTC will conduct five research projects, two technical assistance projects, training projects, and dissemination projects.
