Describe the professional development experience for which you are seeking assistance.

An online course through PATH Int’l that will result in a certificate for working with veterans.

Provide justification for this request.

This course is aimed for programs that want to expand their program offerings to veterans. AS Trinity Farm has been considering this over the past year, the course will provide an opportunity for us to evaluate and plan for such a program. It will also finish out my CEU credits for the year.From the course announcement: “Made possible by a grant received from the United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs, PATH Intl. announces an upcoming online course for PATH Intl. Certified Instructors who are currently providing or are interested in providing equine-assisted activities and therapies for veterans and armed services members. In addition to developing their skill set for working with this specific population, learners will earn six hours of continuing education credit and six hours of disability education (12 CEUs total) for completing this course.Because many instructors and centers are providing services for veterans and service members, this course will give current instructors an opportunity to advance their skills beyond their current certification level. Upon successful completion of the workshop and an online assessment, course attendees will receive a PATH Intl. Specialty Certificate in working with veterans and service members. This is the first specialty certificate to be offered by PATH Intl. and aims to provide focused education in special interest areas for PATH Intl. Certified Professionals.”
