High school students are often offered opportunities for exploring pathways for their future, like college visits, internships, or career training programs. For students with disabilities, it may be harder to see themselves in some of these pathways. This is the gap that Michigan’s Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) program is filling for students with disabilities, and The Arc is excited to be a part of it.
