Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) is pleased to offer our next upcoming Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) training! Pre-ETS services are intended to help students with disabilities, starting at age 14 to explore career interests. Five services are offered and include Job Exploration Counseling, Work-Based Learning, Counseling on Post-Secondary Opportunities, Work Readiness Training and Instruction on Self-Advocacy. An overview of Pre-ETS can be found online at https://ood.ohio.gov/Students-14/Pre-Employment-Transition-Services. Service rates, definitions, outcomes, and more can be found in the VR Provider manual at https://ood.ohio.gov/Provider/Provider-Services/Provider-Manual. Providers are required to have one year of experience working with students with disabilities to provide Pre-ETS, have their service curriculum approved by OOD and attend a Pre-ETS training below.
The next Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) training will take place on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at OOD’s Central Office, 150 East Campus View Boulevard, Columbus, OH 43235, 3rd floor in the David Williams/Helen Keller conference rooms. Current providers, who have not previously been approved for Pre-ETS services and new providers who wish to add Pre-ETS services, must attend. The training will outline OOD’s vision for Pre-ETS services, best practices for coordinating services and service proposal (curriculum) expectations.
