New Jersey — DDD DSP Career Path Training
Tracks the NJ DDD DSP Core Competency Career Pathway (full implementation January 1, 2025) for Supports Program and Community Care Program providers, following the state's staged onboarding timeline. The DDD-developed modules delivered on the College of Direct Support platform are tracked as external evidence; the competency topics the DDD training guide opens to DDD-approved provider-developed training are course-mapped, with approval available through the DDD Alternate Pathway (curriculum and competency tests submitted to the Waiver and Quality Unit).
One organized view of what each learner has completed, what is still due, and what needs to be renewed.
Pathway curriculum
Each module shows the training or evidence that satisfies a requirement, when it is first due, and how often it must be renewed.
