The Center for Continuing Education in Rehabilitation (CCER) at Western Washington University presents a certificate program for direct service providers. The Certificate in Employment Services (CES) concentrates on practical employment strategies for people with disabilities, and provides an overview of significant disabilities, rehabilitation issues, and current trends.
CES is designed to help course participants understand and utilize best practices across employment settings. The course focuses primarily on serving people who have developmental disabilities, but the information provided can also be applied to employment services for people with mental illness, traumatic brain injuries and/or physical disabilities.
National ACRE Certification! Upon completion of the CES classes and homework, participants will be awarded a National Certificate of Achievement in Employment Services from the Association of Community Rehabilitation Educators (ACRE). The Certificate documents satisfactory completion of 40 hours of training and professional development provided by an ACRE-approved training resource, and is appropriate to use as part of a professional portfolio.
