August 20, 2018

From October 2015 through April 2017, Montana Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services contracted with Montana's UCEDD, the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities, to support VRBS and school staff to provide quality pre-employment transition services to students with disabilities. The Pre-ETS Technical Assistance Center services included assistance with schools' Pre-ETS planning; development of Pre-Employment Transition Services resources and products; training created in response to local, regional, and state needs; dissemination of information through a listserv; and training delivered via webinars, online communities of practice, at state conferences, and on-site in local communities.

During the June 21st webinar "A Cross-Walk of Resources for Implementation of the Five Pre-ETS Priority Areas" hosted by the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition, RIIC Project Director Ellen Condon and Project Coordinators Theresa Baldry and Kim Brown presented as panelists and shared a number of resources developed through the Pre-ETS TAC contract.
