Understanding Knowledge and Skill Competencies for Job Coaches Who Provide
Friday December 6, 2024 10:00am - 11:00am CST
Celestin Ballroom: Celestin B
Most state rehabilitation agencies collaborate with community rehabilitation providers (CRPs) to provide job placement and support services, including supported employment (SE) and customized employment (CE). Despite efforts from CRPs to provide services and supports to individuals with disabilities for the demands of employment, competitive integrated employment (CIE) rates for individuals with disabilities, especially those with more significant disabilities remains poor. One way to improve employment outcomes is to ensure that those providing comprehensive supports are competent in knowledge and skills necessary for their job. The purpose of this presentation is to review result of a study that validated key knowledge and skill competencies essential for job coaches. We will provide a review of the competencies used in the study and review methods, results, implications. We will provide a review about how competency-based training and TA is being implemented in one state.
