SE TACE Technical Assistance & Continuing Education
TACE supports vocational rehabilitation professionals through two primary functions: technical assistance and continuing education. Technical Assistance involves customized consultation, facilitation and related activities; examples include strategic planning, resource alignment and curriculum development. Continuing Education involves training in professional development areas, some of which are required to maintain professional credentials; examples include comprehensive assessment, caseload management and ethics. Both forms of support may be delivered either via distance learning or on-site modalities.

Distance Learning
TACE provides its services through both distance learning and on-site modalities. Distance learning consists of a variety of delivery methods that can be used alone or in combination, including webinars, live streaming, online curricula and toolkits, conference calls, newsletters and email. Distance learning is capable of reaching wide audiences at a modest cost. Users must have access to internet and/or phone to take advantage of most of these resources.
Typical distance learning offerings might include:
- Single topical webinar such as “Recruitment & Retention of Individuals with Disabilities and Multicultural Backgrounds into the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Profession”
- Webinar series such as the four-part “Ex-offender Webinar Series”
- Learning series such as the recent learning series on “Improving Outcomes for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)” combining multiple webinars with discussion groups and project assignments.
