What are Pre-ETS? Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) are activities for students with disabilities. They provide an early start at job exploration. They also assist with making decisions about post-secondary education or employment. Job Exploration Counseling allows you to learn about different career options. You also learn work skills necessary to be successful. Work-Based Learning Experiences connect you to real-life work activities and future career options. Counseling on Opportunities gives information and guidance on post-secondary education and training opportunities. Workplace Readiness Training helps develop employability skills, social skills, and independent living skills. Instruction in Self-Advocacy teaches self-advocacy skills needed in education, work, and community settings. How Can I Access Pre-ETS? If you are a student with disabilities, you are considered to be potentially eligible for Pre-ETS if you are between the ages of 14 and 21 and have not yet applied for Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS). You need documentation of a disability and a completed Pre-ETS Agreement. Both eligible and potentially eligible students are able to take part in Pre-ETS. If you do not have an employment plan, you'll need to complete a Pre-ETS Agreement. Then, you can take part in the Pre-ETS activities. If you are interested in participating in Pre-ETS, please talk with your school staff or IVRS staff about getting started.
