The ACRE Employment Specialist Training is designed to provide individuals with the requisite skills for understanding and delivering employment supports to individuals with disabilities. The training is competency focused and individuals will obtain the knowledge and skills to develop validated strategies to meet the diverse integrated employment needs of individuals with disabilities.
The ACRE Employment Specialist Training is a 40-hour hybrid training designed for Employment Services Professionals with five corresponding training modules. Trainees complete twenty hours of live instruction (online or in-person) along with twenty hours of homework assignments that must be completed on their own time. The course typically takes trainees five weeks to complete.
