[humanser] Comtinuing ed

[Danielle (Shives) Manke]

I've asked my VR counselor if membership in professional organizations would be something they'd cover, and she said no. I don't actually currently need CEU's but would like access to materials on the website for my professional organization (The American School Counselor Association) to stay up on current trends while I continue to look for jobs. I had a membership as a student, but of course the student rates are much lower than the regular member rates which would be really tough for me to afford without a job. I've actually contemplated contacting the organization and explaining my situation to see if they could provide any help or resources, as the only way to access most of their material is with a membership. I'm not sure this would get me anywhere but am thinking it's worth a shot since my options are otherwise limited for now. Good luck Ericka; hope you find something that works for you, and congratulations on your marriage! <smile>

Has anyone been able to get there counselor to pay for one year‘s mention for shipping so you can read these benefits, get a job and then pay your own way to the slings? I noticed as you said that if you’re a member of some of these organizations you get free continuing education classes. I’m not sure if they will help me. I would think it would be more cost efficient to pay for a years membership then to pay for individual CE use. How much did your membership cost? I have the general practice licsemce when usually gets right out of college after passing the ASW be and your state required exam. 

I wasn’t really able to practice when I had my license for two years because of medical and shall we say life events that were going on. Now I’m trying to get back into the workforce and the reality is I have a better opportunity with a license done without to find a job that is financially worth it. As we all know most beginning social work jobs require a drivers license because they’re Needing you to transport clients.

I’ve run into the problem where I cannot afford to pay the hundred and whatever plus transportation and hotel to attend many of the continuing education program advertisement that come in my mail. I was wondering where our resources to get continuing education credits for free or low cost? My VR counselor and the Department of safety and professional studies which issues licenses has not been too helpful. I’ve noticed that if you are a member of certified rehabilitation counselors associations or the national Association of social workers you can find ethics and other continuing education programs for a good deal. However I’m not even able to pay that price. What I meant is that I can’t afford the membership fee. Does anyone have any ways around this? Does any one know that if I become number of a state chapter of let’s say an ASW will that give me the same opportunities at a lower price than the national director? I’m very confused and I want to get my CE use up-to-date so I can practice with my state license. I am in Wisconsin and unfortunately their webpage is sort of vague and accessible when it feels like it so just going to the website doesn’t help. It’s more like written in the legalese then regular language. It makes choosing your college coursework look like a piece a cake!

But my job developer is willing to sit with me and her in the sea use as well. He used to be a vocational counselor by trade, but has a better view of people with disabilities than most. He works for the epilepsy foundation.
