Event Details:

This in-person Learning Intensive is designed to equip organizations with the tools and insights necessary to attract, engage, and retain a strong Direct Support Professional (DSP) workforce. The regional Learning Intensive will expand upon ongoing technical assistance themes: workplace culture, supervision, and emotional wellbeing for DSPs.

Schedule of the Day:

• 9-10am Breakfast and Check-in
• 10am-2:30pm Learning Intensive (lunch will be provided)

For the Learning Intensive to be impactful, organizations are strongly encouraged to attend with teams of staff working in a variety of departments. We suggest bringing team members working in:

• Programs (DSP, supervisor, manager, director),
• Hiring and workplace culture (human resources, training, professional development), and
• Senior executive leadership (CEO, VP, COO, etc.)

All teams are encouraged to review existing technical assistance resources, prior to attending. https://workforcetransformation.org/dsp-workforce-initiative/about-workforce-recruitment-and-retention-technical-assistance-project/
