🚨According to GVRA's 3rd Quarter Provider Forum presentation, more than 20,000 students with disabilities did not receive any Pre-Employment Transition Service (Pre-ETS) this past year! Only 40% of students enrolled with the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency received at least one Pre-ETS. Every student deserves access to transition services & opportunities to prepare for employment, education, and independence.
