Angelica Webster, MSW, LSW and Early Reach Coordinator at OVR will highlight employment transition services available for youth with disabilities transitioning from school to employment.
This presentation will provide an overview of OVR’s mission, services, and the importance of early youth engagement in the secondary transition process, focusing on pre-employment transition services (pre-ETS) which include self-advocacy, workplace readiness, job exploration, counseling on post-sec. training options, and work-based learning.
