New Job Coach Training for Utah DSPs
The Effective Job Coach Training is intended for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) funded under the DSPD, EPR and SEI codes for individualized employment services.
The Effective Job Coach training is designed to equip job coaches with essential knowledge and skills to support individuals with disabilities in achieving success in competitive, integrated employment. This self-paced asynchronous training will help job coaches understand and develop skills to
- Work with employers and employees
- Conduct a job analysis
- Implement systematic instruction, and
- Develop workplace accommodations and assistive technology in the workplace.
******DSPs who contract with the State Office of Rehabilitation should not enroll in this course, as it is not a certification recognized by USOR.********
If you contract with Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) to provide job coaching services, please register for the
Workplace Supports Training instead.
To earn a certificate of completion, participants must:
