Direct Support Workforce Development

One of the biggest challenges to providing community supports for people with developmental disabilities is the ability to find, keep and retain qualified direct support professionals (DSPs). The Research and Training Center on Community Living at the University of Minnesota maintains a comprehensive research, training and technical assistance program in the area of direct support workforce development. The RTC DSP workforce development program, its staff and partners are working vigorously to find creative solutions to the workforce challenges of recruitment, retention and training.
