Self-Directed Learning Paths
Self-Directed Learning Paths
New for 2024, OMSSA has organized the education calendar to help you gradually build and layer your skills. Consider following one of the self-directed paths* for your personal learning.
If you are interested in taking courses from multiple self directed paths, consider enrolling in the OMSSA Academy to complete our Human Services Certificate Program.
*Self-directed paths are suggested course selections clustered together based on an overall theme. Participants do not receive a certification or credential for completing courses in a specific path.
