ACS DSW Competency Road Map Phase I

2012

This report is Phase I of the Road Map of Core Competencies for the Direct Service Workforce, and provides an inventory and overview of competency sets used across and within long-term service and support sectors. The development and application of competency sets within long-term services and support workforce development efforts is identified in Phase I. Phase II of the Road Map of Core Competencies will consist of analysis of direct service worker competencies, including further discussion of application. Nationally recognized and validated competencies that cross the long-term care services and supports sectors promote the development of career ladders and lattices industry-wide. Through these industry-wide efforts, it is envisioned that a more competent, stable workforce will emerge to meet the growing demand of long-term services and supports. This report will inform the process to reach this goal.
