Course Outline
This course is for work incentives planners who have been promoted to leadership positions and those who would like to pursue leadership positions within the field. While many of the skills you use as a work incentives planner can help you in your work as a supervisor or manager, few work incentives planners have an opportunity to learn practical skills for supervision and management. The course includes five webinars that cover the following topics:
- Project management
- Developing protocols for intake and case handling
- Managing and maintaining diversified funding
- Supervision from recruitment through retention
- Performance evaluation and having difficult conversations
In this course, we share some of the skills and tools that we found most helpful in our leadership roles. We also address the need for statewide collaboration and working with other work incentives planning projects in your state and region.
After completing the course, you must pass an examination and complete a practical exercise to earn the Leader-C credential.
To maintain the credential, you will need to report 12 credit hours of continuing education credits every 3 years.
WISC Policies & FAQs
Our courses are intended to be taken live, and the entirety of the course cannot be taken via recordings. For the 17-session Work Incentives Planning for Benefit Practitioners, you can miss up to three sessions. You may call in and attend via phone; attending by phone does not count toward missed sessions. You must let us know if you are attending by phone only or if you are attending with a co-worker and you are not the person logged into the webinar.
For our five-session courses:
A maximum of 3 lessons are allowed to be missed to receive a Certification of Completion or to participate in the Credentialing Exam. Because of the format of a 5-Day training, each day will have 3-4 lessons. Therefore, missing 1 full day of a 5-day training may disqualify your participation in the credentialing exam.
These courses do have requirements: You need a computer that can connect to the internet with a modern web browser, the capability to display PDF documents, and related audio gear so you can hear and possibly speak during webinars. Our PDFs work well on-screen, but if you want paper copies of course materials, your computer must be able to download and print PDFs.
