The 5 services

Everything is free. Everything is about you.

These are called Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS). Every plan is built around your interests, skills, and goals. You pick what you need, and you never need all five.

Students building skills
01
Job Exploration
Figure out what you're actually into. Career quizzes, learning about different jobs, and meeting people who do work you're curious about.
02
Self-Advocacy
Learn to speak up for yourself, know your rights, and ask for what you need at school, at work, and in everyday life.
03
Work-Based Learning
Get real experience before you graduate: job shadowing, worksite tours, volunteering, and internship-style opportunities.
04
Workplace Readiness
What it takes to work in the real world: communication, time management, money basics, interviews, and job-related independent living skills.
05
Post-Secondary Counseling
Plan what comes after high school: college, trade school, or technical training, plus help with applications and picking the right program.
