APSE-MO Training

APSE-MO Training Committee

APSE-MO believes that supports and services should be of the highest quality, person centered and delivered with a sense of urgency. In order to promote this belief we offer several training opportunities each year. The APSE-MO Training Committee is responsible for organizing and promoting the following training events:

Professional Development Day: Professional Development Day is an event that offers training useful to direct service staff providing employment support to person with disabilities.  It provides an opportunity for staff to network with their colleagues from across the state and share best practices relevant to the employment needs of people served in Missouri .  Porfessional Development Day provides an excellent educational experience at low cost to participants.

Day on the Hill: APSE-MO coordinates a  Day on the Hill in cooperation with the Congress on Disability Policy. APSE-MO members and friends meet with legislators to discuss issues that impact employment and persons with disabilities. We focus on bringing our Legislative priorities before members of the Missouri Legislature.

Annual Employment Summit: This annual conference is designed to bring together people with disabilities, family members, employers, employment providers, VR counselors, Special Education/Transition personnel, service coordinators, funding agencies and others committed to increasing community employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The Summit features national and local speakers who share cutting edge best practice information and strategies designed to support career development for people with disabilities. It is usually held in August.

ADDITONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE EVENTS WILL BE POSTED AS PLANS ARE DEVELOPED.
