Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA)’s core mission is to help people with disabilities find and maintain employment.

Students (ages 14-21) who receive services via IEPs or accommodations through 504 plans can participate in Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) offered by GVRA.

Private and homeschooled students with documented disabilities can also participate in Pre-ETS.
