Pre-Employment Transition Services Program (Pre-ETS):
The Pre-ETS program continues to provide students to any students who meet the following criteria:

  1. Students between the ages of 14 – 21.

  2. Students who are enrolled in an educational setting (secondary school, homeschool, GED, training program or college/university).

  3. Students who have a documented disability including but not limited to an IEP, 504 plan, medical diagnosis or mental health diagnosis.

  4. Students who are not yet open with ACCES-VR but may be potentially eligible in the future.

Our service areas are job exploration counseling, post-secondary options, self-advocacy training, workplace readiness skills development and work-based learning experiences.

To enroll a student or group of students, please send me an email to setup scheduling.  Please have the student’s guardians complete the attached referral form prior to the start of services.  I have included our menu of services and program overview for your review.
