Pre Employment Transition Services

Pre-employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) help students learn about themselves, practice work skills, explore training options and choose a job. For students interested in these services, they may refer themselves to their local OVR district office. A group of students may be referred to OVR by school staff in collaboration with their local district office. A completed Pre-ETS Referral Form is required for each student. Pre-ETS options include:

Self-Advocacy Instruction teaches students how to solve problems and manage their lives
Workplace Readiness Training teaches students how to get and keep a job
Job Exploration Counseling helps students learn about jobs and how to pick a career
Counseling on Post-Secondary Training helps students decide if college or training after high school is right for them
Work-based Learning connects what students are learning in school to real jobs

Supporting Students To Secure OVR Services

The optimal time for OVR to open a case is when the student is ready and available to engage in the activities necessary to establish a competitive, integrated employment goal. These activities include the development of an individualized plan for employment (IPE) and participation in vocational services to become employed. The time at which this occurs is unique to each individual. Students may apply for VR services in a number of ways:

In-person with an OVR counselor
Through the OVR online pre-application
Completion of a paper pre-application
