All new for 2024, the CDERP Customised Employment – Discovery Professional program is the next evolution in person-centred employment practice. We’ve taken what we’ve learned from practice and research and evolved Discovery to meet your needs and those of the people we work with, as well as the disability employment systems that support what we do.
The new program adds more context and fills the known gaps in disability knowledge and practice created by the compliance nature of modern disability employment systems.
As researchers and practitioners supported by a global network of researchers and practitioners, you can be assured that our program is up-to-date and will continue to evolve. Our work is peer-reviewed and not simply an opinion; it’s based on reality and the translation of evidence into practice that has application in the real world – your world!
Enrolees in the program also receive ongoing mentoring and support, either through face-to-face, Zoom, or email, as they need it.
Satisfactory completion of the 40 hours of practical, reading, mentoring and actual client use will entitle enrollees to use the post-nominal CCDP – CDERP Certified Discovery Professional and join the ranks of professionals committed to delivering evidence-based Customised Employment – Discovery.
The Customised Employment Discovery professional program covers;
- Introduction to Customised Employment and Discovery Stage One
- Customised Employment and Discovery
- Discovery and Social Capital
- Discovery Stage One
- Informational Interviews
- Work Experience
- Self-Determination and Career Planning
- Self-Advocacy
- Discovery Stage Two
Within each lesson, you find practical assessments and quizzes to support your learning and a range of tools to support practice that meets the evidence for fidelity.
The course will also provide background information that supports not just Discovery but also your understanding of disability.
