From May through August 2024, Able South Carolina (Able SC) facilitated two cohorts of the Past, Present, and Future of Centers for Independent Living (CILs) Facilitating Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) Results and Innovation in Systems Excellence (RISE) peer e-learning community, for the Administration on Disabilities (AoD) Disability Employment Technical Assistance Center (DETAC). The purpose of the community was to provide CILs supporting the employment outcomes of youth with disabilities with an overview of Pre-ETS, lessons learned from other CILs, and considerations for student engagement in Pre-ETS planning and implementation. Centers for Independent Living play a pivotal role in assisting individuals with disabilities in every aspect of community living including providing support obtaining employment opportunities. To broaden the reach of this community, we’re excited to share this one-pager with a summary of the community, links to all session recordings, and examples of actions you can take to facilitate Pre-ETS.
