Professional Development Opportunities
As a professional in the field of supporting people with disabilities, you know that there is constant change and movement. Be sure to keep on track and ahead by developing your skills, as well as knowledge. Two ways in which you can further your professional development are by obtaining the Basic Certificate in Employment Services (ACRE) or becoming a Certified Employment Support Professional (APSE). In Pennsylvania, there are requirements for professionals such as those delivering employment services and community participation through state waivers to have one of these in order to render services.
