Supported Employment New Hire Series

Starting in May, this hybrid series will cover all the essential knowledge, skills, and resource development needed for providing SE services in New Jersey. Pre-pandemic these trainings were four full day sessions in-person. Given staff shortages and service coverage needs, we are offering flexibility by conducting the series as a mix of virtual sessions and two in-person days.

Recruiting Students for a Paid Study

 

Image of a flyer for a career and technical education study. The study is for students enrolled in post-secondary vocational or trade school programs in the USA. Students must have a mental health condition like PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc. If interested, please email gaoni@shp.rutgers.edu. The study pays $125 to participants.

One of our faculty is currently recruiting students that are pursuing Career and Technical Education (vocational education, trade school programs).

The goal of the project is to create a toolkit to support students in CTE programs that have mental health conditions successfully complete their programs and seek employment. In order to refine this toolkit, we are looking for qualifying students to test it with. Please go to the link below for more information. If you have any questions, contact Dr. Ni Gao at gaoni@shp.rutgers.edu
