Helping Students Prepare for the World of Work

ACCES-VR offers Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) to students with disabilities who are still in high school or postsecondary education. These services are designed to help students explore careers, build skills, and prepare for future employment and independence.

Job Exploration Counseling

Job exploration counseling helps students learn about different career options and what kinds of jobs might be a good fit for their interests and abilities. Services may include:

  • Career interest assessments.
  • Discussions about job responsibilities and required skills.
  • Information about in demand careers.
  • Help understand the education or training needed for different jobs.

This service gives students the tools to start thinking about their future and what kind of work they’d like to pursue.

Developing Social and Interpersonal Skills

Success in the workplace often depends on more than just job skills. Social and communication abilities play a big role in getting and keeping a job. Through Pre-ETS, students can improve:

  • Communication skills (verbal and non-verbal)
  • Teamwork and collaboration
  • Conflict resolution and problem-solving
  • Understanding appropriate workplace behavior
  • Self-advocacy and confidence in social settings

These skills are taught through interactive activities, role-playing, group sessions, and real-world practice, helping students feel more prepared for the workplace.
