Online, self-paced courses equip supported employment professionals with practical tools to advance workplace belonging and competitive integrated employment for people with disabilities

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2026 / WorkWorksUSA today highlighted its expanding catalog of online supported employment training built to help supported employment specialists strengthen their expertise in disability employment and create more inclusive workplaces in all 50 states across the United States and territories

"At WorkWorksUSA, we believe employment is the foundation of independence, purpose, and belonging," co-founder Ellen Amudipe states, underscoring its focus on preparing professionals to support people with disabilities in achieving meaningful career goals. Hellen Walker is the other co-founder and adds, "Supported employment changes lives when supported employment specialists have the right tools and training. That's why we built WorkWorksUSA-to deliver accessible learning that builds skills, confidence, and compassion, and ultimately expands opportunity for people with disabilities."

The organization's mission is to strengthen the field of supported employment by providing high-quality, accessible online training for employment specialists-helping them build the skills, confidence, and compassion needed to support people with disabilities in achieving their own vision of an everyday life.

At the center of WorkWorksUSA's offerings is its ACRE-accredited certification program: the ACRE Certified Supported Employment Specialist Basic Level Certification. Offered as a 40-hour asynchronous course priced at $450, the program is designed for busy professionals who need flexibility while developing mastery across key competencies. Training is structured into competency-mapped, practice-based modules that blend practical strategies, case studies, and interactive learning activities. The curriculum builds knowledge step-by-step and addresses essential topics such as rights and responsibilities, customized career planning, and effective job development. Each lesson includes downloadable templates, guided notes, and other practical resources intended for direct workplace application, and WorkWorksUSA emphasizes that ACRE accreditation supports nationwide recognition of the credential.

WorkWorksUSA also offers specialized mini-courses priced at $49 for continuing professional development. These shorter trainings are designed for quick skill-building and include tools and strategies that learners can put into practice right away, along with professional development certificates. A featured course, "Pathways to Self-Employment: Empowering Entrepreneurs with Disabilities," is delivered through four self-paced micro-lessons (15-20 minutes each). Participants learn to recognize self-employment as a viable career option, assess readiness, develop business plans, and connect individuals to funding and community supports, including vocational rehabilitation supports, PASS plans, and community micro-loans. The mini-course includes interactive activities, downloadable templates, real-world case studies, a short quiz, and a certificate of completion.

Accessibility is built into the learning experience across the platform. WorkWorksUSA designs each lesson to meet accessibility standards, including closed captions on videos, screen reader-friendly navigation, and downloadable guided notes and transcripts that work across devices. Learners have access to course content for 12 months from enrollment, enabling them to learn at their own pace and revisit resources when needed. Courses are hosted on the Moodle learning platform, with a built-in forum where participants can ask questions, share strategies, and interact with peers, plus technical support for login problems, access errors, or missing materials.

As a fully online provider, WorkWorksUSA delivers training across all 50 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico.
