Workplace Supports Training

The workplace supports training (WPS) is designed to provide supported employment and customized employment job coaches with information about supporting employees with disabilities in competitive integrated employment. The training is empirically driven and reflects a philosophy that all individuals who want to work, regardless of severity of disability, are provided with the necessary support to achieve competitive integrated employment outcomes. The WPS addresses the training requirements established by the Department of Workforce Services-Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (DWS-USOR) and the Division of Services for People with Disabilities.
