“Pathful Explore” Resource and Training

Dear VRS Community Partners,

Pathful Explore (formerly VirtualJobShadow.com) is a career exploration resource with interactive tools to guide students in making informed decisions about post-secondary education avenues and work experience opportunities, while preparing them to succeed in the 21st century workplace. VRS provides funding for access to Pathful Explore to VRS and Community Partner staff who provide Pre-ETS Services to students with disabilities.

VRS is offering a webinar to Community Partners and VRS staff that will provide an overview of the Pathful Explore platform. In addition, attendees will have a chance to explore the new tools within the platform to see how they can be used in delivering Transition and Pre-ETS services.
