CESP Exam Dumps : Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP)

Employment First is a national systems-change framework centered on the premise that all individuals, including those individuals with the most significant disabilities, are capable of full participation in Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) and community life1. Under this approach, publicly-financed systems are urged to align policies, regulatory guidance, andreimbursement structures to commit to CIE as the priority option with respect to the use of publicly-financed day and employment services for youth and adults with significant disabilities1. Many states have formally committed to the Employment First framework through official executive proclamation or formal legislative action1. Employment First is also one of the core values and principles of APSE, the Association of People Supporting Employment First2. References: 1: Employment First | U.S. Department of Labor 2: About APSE - APSE

The APSE ethical guidelines are a set of principles and practices that professionals in supported employment should follow to promote services consistent with human dignity1. One of the core values of APSE is that employment should be an option for any person interested in working, regardless of label, support need, or perceived functioning level1. Therefore, the statement that individuals with severe disabilities are unemployable is NOT an APSE ethical guideline, but rathera misconception that contradicts the APSE vision of inclusive communities where everyone works2. References: 1: APSE Ethical Guidelines for Professionals in Supported Employment 2: APSE Mission and Vision Statement

 An informational interview is a meeting with a potential employer or a person who works in a field of interest to learn more about their business, industry, or occupation. It is not a job interview, but rather a networking and research opportunity12. The main purpose of an informational interview is to gather information that can help with job development and career planning for a job-seeker. Therefore, it is important to ask open-ended questions that can reveal the business’s needs, challenges, culture, and expectations3. The other options (A, C, and D) are not appropriate for an informational interview, as they may come across as too pushy, irrelevant, or premature. References: 1: Informational Interviewing | Career Center 2: Informational Interviewing - Association of People Supporting Employment First 3: CESP study guide Flashcards | Quizlet
