In-School Pre-ETS

Get ready for life after school.

Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) help you build confidence and take practical steps toward college, training, or a job you care about. While you’re in school, you’ll gain real-world skills and experiences that make what comes next feel easier and more achievable.

Bobby Dodd Institute’s school-based services are built to support your goals and work alongside your IEP and transition plan. You will focus on understanding your options, speaking up for yourself, and preparing for work and independence.

Programs take place at your school, follow your academic schedule, and are available across Georgia, making it easier to participate without extra travel or disruption.

Pre-ETS service areas include job exploration counseling, work-based learning experiences, workplace readiness training, postsecondary transition counseling, self-advocacy instruction.
