The grant, submitted by the University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability (IOD), provides $2,944,732 to be used in a multi-faceted strategy to recruit and develop direct support workers.

To facilitate the training aspect, the IOD will contract with Moore Center to employ the College of Direct Support, the online training curriculum currently used by Moore Center and other human services organizations in New Hampshire to train direct support staff.

The target: to develop 1,000 workers, a number that includes both incumbent staff and new recruits. These newly credentialed and trained direct support professionals can fan out across multiple sectors of the human services industry, offering direct care to the developmental disability, elderly and mental health populations.

“This is about giving direct support staff the visibility, credibility and respect they deserve,” said Scott Trudo, Director of Workforce Development at Moore Center Service. “This grant will dramatically change the landscape of this field.”
