Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) are a coordinated set of activities for students with disabilities and WIOA potentially eligible youth. A method to access job training and education opportunities for people who have traditionally faced barriers. A facilitation of movement from school to post-school activities based on individual need, considering strength, preferences and interests

Pre-ETS is provided at no cost to the student, family, or educational institution. Pre-ETS is funded through a grant from the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) and is made available through the National Center for Disability and Employment Training (NCDET) / University of Oklahoma Outreach.

Assist the student to achieve academic goals during high school and explore various types of college and job training programs, including branches of the military.

Explore the world of work and career options to foster motivation, consideration of opportunities, and informed decision-making skills using assessments, interest inventories, and in-demand occupation information.
