Research should include
- education, training, and credential requirements
- potential disqualifiers (e.g., barrier crimes) for a human services career and how these are disclosed (e.g., background check, credit history, digital footprint)
- entry-level, part-time, volunteer, and work-based learning opportunities in human services.
Process/Skill Questions:
Thinking
- What factors should one consider when deciding to further one’s education?
- What findings from one’s background check, credit history, or digital footprint might result in being disqualified from a position?
Communication
- How can schools partner with human services providers to create work-based learning opportunities in the local area?
Leadership
- What are the benefits of volunteer work in the human services field?
Management
- What human services credentials are sought after in your occupation of choice?
