Pre-employment transition services (Pre-ETS) can be an essential first step along the career pathway for students with disabilities.
Pre-employment transition services (Pre-ETS) can be an essential first step along the career pathway for students with disabilities in that each of the five required Pre-ETS activities help the student build skills upon a career pathway that has multiple on and off ramps toward careers.
2. One way that pre-employment transition services can be leveraged as that first step along the Career pathways is to utilize VR business specialists and/or workforce partners expertise to identify early work experiences and job opportunities outside the traditional school setting in the local labor market that will provide increased opportunities to explore post-secondary training options, leading to more industry recognized credentials, skills gains, and meaningful post-secondary employment.
With the addition of pre-employment transition services for students with disabilities who are eligible or potentially eligible, the VR program is now characterized as offering a continuum of services providing a range of services from the most basic to the most individualized and intensive services and meeting the evolving needs of a student with a disability, including those with the most significant disabilities, who are transitioning from school to post-secondary education or employment.
An individual is not required to receive one set of services before beginning the next set. For example, pre-employment transition services, the earliest phase of this continuum, should enrich, not delay, transition planning; application to the VR program and the continuum of services necessary for movement from school to post-school activities.
