Are you dedicated to supporting neurodiverse students in achieving their dreams and potential? Consider joining our VSAC team as the Pre-ETS (Pre-Employment and Transition Services) Outreach Counselor! You’ll join a team of highly committed, collaborative, and supportive colleagues who are dedicated to student success. The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) helps Vermonters of all ages prepare and plan for college and career training. This VSAC position is funded by a contract with HireAbility and a grant with Pathways to Partnerships to develop and facilitate post-high school planning workshops to students in Central and Northern Vermont high schools. VSAC Outreach counselors across our programs meet with students around the state who are often from modest income backgrounds or are first in their family to pursue education after high school. Outreach Counselors support students to explore passions, identify education pathways to promising careers, and ensure they have financial aid to support their goals.

The Northern Pre-ETS Outreach Counselor is expected to deliver up to 10 workshops at each of the contracted school sites by the end of the school year.
