About this Event
This webinar will introduce you to a few new resources regarding the provision of pre-employment transition services for students with disabilities. States may choose to use these resources as a companion to existing outreach and marketing materials, as a part of their on-boarding with new staff, or simply as a quick desk reference guide. These new resources include a Compendium to the Delivery of Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS), and a stand alone guide for each of the five required Pre-ETS activities.
Training Objectives:
- Understand how pre-employment transition services fit within the VR continuum of services.
- Increased knowledge of how pre-employment transition services are delivered, and who is primarily responsible for the provision of pre-employment transition services.
- Increase ability to identify examples of activities, and outcomes for each of the five required pre-employment transition services.
