Pre-Employment Transition Services
Start thinking about work before school ends.
Pre-ETS helps students with disabilities find out what kind of work fits them, try it out, and get ready for a workplace — while they're still in school.
Book a meet-and-greetWhy the right path matters
A first job sets the tone. One that fits builds confidence, skills and a reference. One that doesn't can convince a young person that work isn't for them.
People stay longer in jobs that match what they're good at and what they care about. Exploring now, while school is still there as a safety net, means trying things and changing course without much at stake.
