Course History
Four groups of Employment Specialists worked with persons with psychiatric disabilities enrolled in a distance learning course with the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation on Job Development and Job Retention.
The course included five Modules (Engagement; Cultural Issues: the Pitch; the Presentation and Proposal; and Job Retention). At the end of each Module, the participants responded to questions which came from the course content and provided input to shape the course as it is today.
The course will begin to be offered in late 2020. For further information contact psyrehab@bu.edu.
