For students with disabilities, brighter career opportunities begin with your enhanced success in high school, vocational training, college education and employment. |
The West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services can help a student with a disability to transition from high school to the next stage of adult life, which may include postsecondary education, vocational/technical education, adult education and employment.
These services are called Pre-Employment Transition Services, or Pre-ETS.
Pre-Employment Transition Services provide opportunities to learn more about:
- career possibilities
- your interest in those careers
- how to prepare for those careers
- how to take charge of your future
