The Core Competencies for the Direct
Service Workforce is a resource that informs direct service
delivery. It describes best practices in community-based supports.
The core competency set is not intended to impose requirements for
direct service workers upon entry to the workforce. The purpose of
the core competency set is to guide the development of training for
direct service workers. It is also intended to serve as the
foundation for a competency model in this industry. Upon completion
of the Survey on Core Competencies for the Direct Service
Workforce, the resource will be released with a web-based toolkit.
Effective direct service workforce training tools and activities
(such as performance evaluation tools and recruitment, hiring, and
selection activities) will be developed based on the set.
Implementation of the core competency set will lead to improved
quality of training to direct service workers. The mission is to
promote a high quality of life for people who receive services and
their families. A current version of the core competency set
(Version 3.0) is available to the public on the DSW Resource Center
Website (dswresourcecenter.org). This survey is focused on
employees who provide direct services to older adults and people
with disabilities, including intellectual and developmental
disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health, and substance
use disorders. The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the
competencies and skills that are needed by all community-based
direct service workers. This includes workers within each sector of
long-term services and supports: aging, behavioral health (mental
health and substance use), intellectual and developmental
disabilities, and physical disabilities. The survey will collect
data from a variety of sectors: direct service workers, front line
supervisors and managers, agency administrators and directors,
individuals with disabilities and their families, self-advocates
and guardians.
