The Department of Rehabilitation places a high priority on providing services to youth and students with disabilities, to ensure they receive the training and other support they need in order to obtain competitive integrated employment.
To support this, it mandates that vocational rehabilitation agencies provide pre-employment services and serve eligible students.
Pre-employment services in the Student Services Plan are designed to help students transition from school to activities after graduation, leading to competitive integrated employment and economic self-sufficiency.
These services help students explore and prepare themselves for employment by providing experiences and developing foundational skills that will increase their likelihood of finding employment and a substantial gainful occupation.
