Job Exploration Overview

The Pre-ETS Toolkit provides facilitators with the essential resources and information needed to teach job exploration to students with significant disabilities. After completing the 3 Job Exploration lessons, students will discover their unique strengths, interests, work preferences, and two to three career clusters that interest them the most.
