PRE-EMPLOYMENT TRANSITION SERVICES
About Us
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), signed into law in July of 2014, provides the means for students age fourteen to twenty two with a disability to receive Pre-Employment Transition Services. WIOA replaces the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 and is intended to modernize the nation’s workforce service delivery system.
Pre-Employment Transition Services are available to any student with a disability ages 14-22. A student with a disability can be a student in a traditional educational setting, a student who is being homeschooled or in other non-traditional secondary educational settings. In addition, students in a post-secondary educational setting can receive PreEmployment Transition Services, however tuition is not a Pre-Employment Transition Service.
