Pre-Employment Transition Services
Guide to Pre-Employment Transition Services
Pre-employment transition services are available to any student with a documented disability aged 14-21 (up to their 22nd birthday); you can access these services through a Pre-ETS provider in your community. Potentially eligible status is an entry way for students with a documented disability to engage with Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) Pre-ETS programming without having to go through Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) eligibility. The goal of students engaging in programming under a potentially eligible status is to help identify the best path for a student so their needs can be met.
