The Skills Trainer plays a key role in supporting students with disabilities as they prepare for future employment through New Jersey’s Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) program.
Working closely with DVR counselors, schools, families, and the Program Coordinator, the Skills Trainer helps students identify realistic employment goals, build transferable skills, and access meaningful learning opportunities in the community.

Demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence when collaborating with employers, students, families, DVR counselors, and school personnel.
Apply exceptional organizational and time‑management abilities to manage training schedules, service delivery, documentation, and caseload priorities.

Adapt effectively to changing workplace conditions, service logistics, and procedural updates.
Develop individualized, student‑aligned employment goals and coordinate communication across multiple stakeholders.
Conduct intakes and assessments to determine student readiness and service needs.
Deliver all five required Pre‑ETS components, including Job Exploration Counseling, WBLE, Postsecondary Counseling, Workplace Readiness, and Self‑Advocacy instruction.
Support students in accessing essential employment‑related resources such as technology, clothing, and tutoring.
Maintain accurate daily documentation in SETWorks, manage a structured service calendar, and meet the expectation of 31 weekly billable hours.
Collaborate with Program Coordinators and external partners while completing Monthly Activity Reports and ensuring compliance with funder and agency requirements.
