Training Outcomes Summary

Virginia’s Human Services Training Center
Student Data Summary 2001-2004
Consumer Provider Training Program

• 66 students have completed the two semester, 21 credit training program.
  
  
• 63 graduates began working at their local CSB/BHA immediately upon graduation, in part time jobs of 20 hrs. or less per week.
  
  
• 44 graduates were still employed by their initial MH employer one year after their graduation from the training program (11 additional graduates began employment in September 2006). Although some graduates left employment due to significant relapses, others left for other reasons – to pursue additional education, to enter another field, or to work in a different mental health setting.
  
  
• To date, 20 CSB/BHA’s and one private provider have committed jobs to VHST graduates. Since position commitments are required before consumer applicants are recruited from specific areas of the state, agency participation is crucial to the continuation of this exciting and empowering vocational opportunity for Virginia’s consumers, as well as to the continuing success of VHST.
