Description of ACRE Training Program:
Foundations of Community Integrated Employment is designed to provide an overview of the wide range of skills and knowledge one will need to become a successful employment support professional. Offered as a 40-hour, instructor-lead classroom and fieldwork course, the bulk of content is broken up into 4 domains:

• Application of Core Values and Principles to Practice
• Individualized Assessment and Career Planning
• Community Research and Job Development
• Workplace and Related Supports.

The training also takes an in-depth look at enhancing careers, social security and benefits counseling, and positive behavior supports. Through lecture, discussion, classroom exercises, field work assignments, and examining print, film, and other media, trainees will develop a solid foundation of knowledge with which to perform the many functions of an employment support professional.
