The North Carolina Division on Career Development and Transition (NCDCDT) is a statewide professional educational organization, with a primary mission to promote and support efforts to improve the quality of, and access to career development and transition services for individuals with all exceptionalities across the life span. The secondary purpose of NCDCDT is to encourage and promote professional growth, research, legislation, information dissemination, technical assistance, and interactions among individuals and organizations concerned with and involved in the career development and transition services of youth with exceptionalities in North Carolina.


NCDCDT is a subdivision of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the North Carolina Council for Exceptional Children (NC-CEC)

NCDCDT is also a state division of the International Division on Career Development and Transition (DCDT).


Our state chapter is composed of individuals who are passionate about ensuring students with disabilities have every opportunity for achieving positive post-school outcomes. Our membership includes teachers, parents, administrators, university professors, students, and professionals who counsel or offer services for individuals with disabilities.


As an organization, we are in a unique position to provide resources and professional development in the areas of career development, post-secondary education, and transition. We do this through our website, email notifications, social media, grants, awards, regional and statewide meetings, and our annual transition conference.  For more than three decades, NCDCDT has grown and flourished because of the passion and commitment of its members.


As you explore this website to locate resources and upcoming events, our hope is that if you are not already a NCDCDT member, you will consider becoming a part of our organization. Current CEC members can add on the DCDT Special Interest Division for between for $20–$35, depending on your CEC membership. [Click here to join.] 


Together, we can and do make a difference in the lives of students with disabilities.
