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.
This training is designed for job coaches who actively provide support to individuals with disabilities receiving authorized services from the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR). Participants must currently deliver job coaching services or have the capacity to provide authorized USOR Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services. If you do not meet these requirements, you will be unable to complete the course. Please contact Cassandra Shaw for assistance in registering for a more appropriate course based on your needs.
