Pathways to Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS-VR, TTE-DDD)
Civitan’s Pre-ETS training to in-school youth (ages 14-22) offers vocational curriculum centered around self-advocacy, post-secondary school counseling, job exploration, workplace readiness, and work-based experiences. Our Pre-ETS instruction is offered as part of our summer program series and is also available year-round to youth with disabilities wanting to learn more about employment options. Pathways to Employment (formerly TTE) also promotes skill development for integrated and competitive employment but doesn’t have the age limitations.
Group Supported Employment (GSE-DDD)
Our GSE services offers work opportunities under the U.S. Department of Labor’s Fair Labor Standards Act Section 14(c) Subminimum Wage Certificate Program. Civitan’s job coaches provide daily on-going support which allows for members to gain a deeper learning experience while earning a paycheck! Examples of our GSE opportunities include:

- Civitan Cook-er-y – Food Preparation, Culinary Arts, Catering, etc.

We are always looking for new partnerships to provide our members with new job opportunities.
