Pursuit Lab
In partnership with Washington’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Edmonds College is offering courses to help students with disabilities prepare for college and the workplace at no cost to students. We offer in person classes at Edmonds College as well as a virtual class in the evening. The virtual class is open state wide to any student who meets the eligibility requirements.

How to Register
Step 1
Complete the registration survey to let us know which classes and services you're interested in.
Step 2
Complete the Pre-Employment Transition Service Consent (Pre-ETS) form (if you have not already done so). This form allows students to access a variety of job preparation services for free. Section 2 of the form needs to be completed by a school official, which can be anyone on a student's IEP team that has knowledge of the student's disability.
Step 3
Email the completed Pre-Employment Transition Service Consent form to diana.george@edmonds.edu at least 10 days before the start of class.
