[13] Sec. 102(b)(2)(D)(iii) of WIOA
j. 3. Include an assessment of the needs of individuals with disabilities for transition career services and pre-employment transition services, and the extent to which such services are coordinated with transition services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
Current Narrative:
There was strong support for transition and pre-employment transition services identified within the assessment. Two areas that were specifically identified include: career exploration and self-advocacy.
The Agency actively works with schools to coordinate the provision of these services. VR staff engage teachers and staff at schools in identifying needed pre-employment transition services as well as identifying students who are in need of these services. Transition Counselors work with IEP teams to ensure coordination of IEP goals toward employment and provision of transition and pre-employment transition services.
