The course is being rolled out in multiple iterations over 5 years to meet the Scottish Government’s commitment to training 300 supported employment case managers.
This course has successfully been run through the Opportunities Fife Partnership by Dr Norma Clark to support ta range of employment case managers to achieve the Certified Disability Management Professional (CDMP) registration.
Recruitment in Fife to NIDMAR training is now in year 4 and this year will be hosted in Dunfermline.
Applications are welcome from practitioners in Health, local authority or supported employment services across Fife.
