About Us

We’ve partnered with Disability Employment Australia (DEA) to create tailor made training for the disability employment sector. Disability Employment Fundamentals is a suite of microcredentials developed to build workforce and leadership capability across the disability employment sector.

Portable professional development

Continuing professional development is becoming more urgent as government focus turns to professionalising the disability employment services sector. Now is the ideal time to proactively build your skills and knowledge.

Microcredentials provide an accessible learning approach and offer verified digital credentials that can be added to your professional profile. They can be shared with current and future employers to demonstrate your competency.

If you are employed by a DEA member organisation, completion of this microcredential will contribute to your CPD points and take you one step closer to being officially recognised as a Professional Member of DEA.
