Virtual Pre-ETS Training
The UNT WISE Virtual Transition Program assists young adults with disabilities, ages
14-22, to develop vocational skills, independent living skills, and social & recreation
skills through an intensive virtual training program. The Virtual Transition Program
is a six (6) week program for participants interested in vocational planning and/or
post-secondary education for their future. This program opens the door to the realities
of the adult world of work and living.
The training is comprised of six (6) modules to be completed over a six (6) week course.
The course is outlined where students complete one (1) module per week. Each module
will include a number of lessons and activites which will be self-paced or synchronized.
Self-paced activites allow the students to work through the material at their own
