Discussions have been held in the past on how employers can utilize a Registered Apprenticeship program to better educate and prepare the Direct Support workers for their career. Direct Support employers should consider this an effective option for increasing retention, providing a more educated direct support specialist thus increasing customer satisfaction / quality of life and reducing costs involved in recruiting new Direct Support Specialists.
