We believe in accessibility and equality for all New Mexicans. To support our mission, we offer the College of Employment Services (CES), an online training course.
CES is designed for current employment specialists who support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In 15 weeks, you will learn competencies outlined by the Association of Community Rehabilitation Educator’s and the Certified Employment Support Professional exam.
For a limited time, the course is free. To learn more, contact Monica Elsbrock at MElsbrock@salud.unm.edu.
Who Can Register
The course is open to anyone in New Mexico who wants to learn about employment best practices. We created this course for busy professionals such as:

Registration is available for several weeks leading into a new semester.
