The Vocational Independence Program (VIP) at College of Mount Saint Vincent^[1] founded in 1987^[2] is one of only 10 postsecondary schools in the United States that is known by the U.S. Department of Education as a Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary (CTP) program for students with an intellectual disability.^[3] The VIP also offered a summer program called the Introduction to Independence (I To I)^[4] which qualified VIP as an interconnected program^[4] aimed at people ages 16-22 with special needs and focused on job training and independent living skills.^[5] There was a 4th year option at VIP.^[6]

People ages 23 and up may still attend VIP.^[6] However, they are ineligible to attend the summer program as the Introduction to Independence is a summer work-study-recreation program for students ages 16 to 22 who have moderate to severe learning differences.^[4] The IQ scores of VIP students are 70-143.^[6] At VIP, most students come directly from high school and most have been in special education programs. ^[7] On June 2nd 2020, it was announced the program would shut down permanently as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.^[8]
