TAP is a partnership between Burlington High School & Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS) committed to assisting eligible young adults in becoming independent and successful citizens and employees. 

TAP participants receive assistance in the areas of vocational, educational, and life skills services. An individual must be eligible for IVRS services and a student at Burlington High School. 

TAP helps participants develop positive work skills in order to find and keep employment.
