I am so thankful for this program and opportunity for my students. We have had wonderful

job club teachers who care about the students and their needs. They take the time to get to

know the student and meet them right where they are. The lessons were taught well and

my students were engaged throughout the time. They cover wonderful life material for them

and I feel that my students are more prepared to meet their post-secondary goals.

My students responded well and had great conversations during their class time. The questions

and discussions were thought provoking and made them think about key things in their future.

I feel that my students definitely benefit from the Pre-ETS program. The content also aligned

beautifully with their classroom curriculum that they were learning. Pre-ETS Staff were

always very professional, respectful and really spoiled my students. They were all a pleasure to have!

Thank you all so much for your hard work and time spent with my students.

We always love having you all work with us!” ~ Ms. Burklow
