PATH Orientation
This presentation provides an overview of the Center for Innovative Training in Vocational Rehabilitation: Provider Advancement Through High-Quality Training (CIT-VR: PATH) initiative — a national effort focused on strengthening the skills, knowledge, and collaboration of Community Rehabilitation Providers (CRPs) and State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies (SVRAs).
Participants will learn about the project’s goals, training pathways, landscape analysis process, communities of practice, leadership academies, and national training hub designed to improve service quality and employment outcomes for people with disabilities. The session also outlines expectations for participating states and CRPs while highlighting how innovative, accessible, and evidence-informed training strategies will help build a stronger and more connected vocational rehabilitation workforce.
YesLMS Learning Platform Tour
Join us for this training where participants are introduced to the YesLMS learning platform, including how to access and complete courses, track progress, use accessibility features, view quiz results, and download certificates and continuing education documentation.
The training also explains the broader purpose of PATH: building the knowledge and skills of disability service professionals, strengthening partnerships between CRPs and vocational rehabilitation, and supporting better employment outcomes for people with disabilities. Tier 1 provides foundational learning in disability, communication, and professional effectiveness, with advanced and tailored training planned in later tiers.
