Effective collaboration among schools and agencies is critical to the success of pre-employment transition services (pre-ETS). We examined the views of 596 middle and high school educators regarding pre-ETS and the employment prospects of their students with disabilities. Educators overwhelmingly affirmed that youth with disabilities needed better preparation for employment, but they were more mixed in their familiarity with pre-ETS and its associated practices. Prevailing partnerships among schools and vocational rehabilitation agencies were described as uneven and fairly limited. Educators sometimes differed in their views based on school level (i.e., middle versus high school) and community type (i.e., rural versus non-rural). We offer suggestions for research and practice aimed at enhancing the employment preparation and outcomes of youth with disabilities.

学校和机构之间的有效合作对于就业前过渡服务（pre-ETS）的成功至关重要。我们研究了596名初中和高中教育者对ETS之前的情况及其残疾学生的就业前景的看法。教育工作者压倒性地肯定了残疾青年需要更好的就业准备，但他们对ETS之前的习俗及其相关实践的了解更为复杂。学校和职业康复机构之间普遍存在的伙伴关系被描述为参差不齐且相当有限。根据学校水平（即初中与高中）和社区类型（即农村与非农村），教育者的观点有时会有所不同。
