Deliver all five required components of Pre-Employment Transition Services as outlined by WINTAC.org: v Job Exploration Counseling v Work-Based Learning Experiences (WBLE) v Counseling on Post-Secondary Education Options v Workplace Readiness Training v Instruction in Self-Advocacy.
Support students in accessing necessary resources and services that contribute to employment success (e.g., technology, clothing, tutoring, etc.).

Documentation and Caseload Management

Create and maintain a daily calendar that prioritizes consumer services and reflects caseload needs, appointments, and compliance with agency expectations.
Maintain a consistent average of 31 billable hours per week through direct service provision.
Collaborate regularly with the Program Coordinator to ensure best practices in caseload management and service quality.
