This workshop will provide information on the new Pre-Emplyoyment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) being offered by the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). Pre-ETS are designed to be an early start at job exploration for students with disabilities and to enrich transition planning and the continuum of services necessary to prepare students to enter into successful careers and adult life. Pre-ETS can begin when a student turns 14 as part of their overall transition plan, and are not subject to student/family financial participation.

 

Participants will learn about:

  • the five pre-employment transition services areas,
  • the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA),
  • activity examples of each service area,
  • how to access those services,
  • collaboration with local school districts/ employment services organizations and
  • summer calendar events.

 

This presentation will be beneficial for students, parents, special education teachers, guidance counselors, support coordinators, disability advocates, community disability organizations, and employment transition representatives.

 

Presented by:
Carrie Gilbert, MA, District Pre-Employment Counselor and Keisha Malloy, M.S. CRC, Pre-Employment Counselor from the Alexandria DARS Office and Tyler Schreffler,,M.A., CRC, Unit Supervisor from the Fairfax County DARS office.

Learn what actions you can take now to ensure a secure future for your child with a disability. This workshop discusses issues related to future planning including where to access resources; special needs trusts, decision making options once your child turns 18, and Social Security Benefits.
