Discover Your Student’s Path Forward
Welcome to Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) with Joshua Tree!
High school is an exciting time, but thinking about "what comes next" can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in! Our Pre-ETS services are designed to empower students with disabilities to explore their passions, build real-world skills, and step confidently into adulthood.
What is Pre-ETS?
Pre-ETS bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world. Utilizing a nationally accredited transition curriculum, we focus on four core pillars to set your student up for long-term success:
Career Exploration
Helping students discover what they love doing and how it translates to the workforce.
Workplace Readiness
Developing the professional behaviors and soft skills essential for keeping a job.
Self-Advocacy
Teaching students how to confidently communicate their needs, strengths, and goals.
Post-Secondary Options
Guiding families through the exciting possibilities of college, trade schools, and vocational training.
Hands-On Learning: We believe the best way to learn is by doing. We take learning beyond the classroom by facilitating immersive industry and college tours alongside interactive work-based learning experiences.
