An unpaid program, that is similar to an internship, offered by Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. The Council on Occupational Education accredits this program and all graduates receive a Certificate of Attainment in their Vocational training area. The ETO is a hands-on learning experience in any of the approved vocational fields. The ETO track focuses on a vocational field that would be appropriate for a career based on your vocational evaluation.
Most careers require both knowledge in a field as well as experience in the field.
The ETO can give you both without a classroom experience. OR you can train in your own home community. The ETO has both local or Statewide training options. Your local Department of Rehabilitative Services office is the first place you should contact, if you are interested in hearing more about the ETO program. Your local DRS Counselor can set up an appointment, for you, with the local ETO Training Site Coordinator who can get you started on your ETO training program.
