-
Virtual Job Immersion (VR): This immersive experience simulates real-world work environments, supporting workplace readiness training and job exploration.

-
Google Career Certificates (Partial): Introductory modules or foundational courses within the Google Career Certificates could be adapted for Pre-ETS, focusing on skill development and career exploration rather than full certification.
Standard VR Client

Drone Pilot Apprenticeship: This intensive program provides comprehensive training and mentorship, directly leading to employment in a high-growth field. This aligns with standard VR's focus on job placement and job retention services.

Overlapping Services: Some programs can serve both populations, adapting the intensity and focus based on individual needs and goals. Collaboration with DVR counselors is crucial to determine the most appropriate program and service delivery model for each client. For example, elements of the Google Career Certificates could be tailored for Pre-ETS clients, while the full program is suitable for standard VR clients.
