Let's Collaborate to Educate the US Department of Labor about Adapted Physical Education
Dear NCPEID members
The Occupational Network Database Program (O*NET) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) is the primary source of occupational information used by job seekers, employers, workforce agencies and others who use such information in their daily activities.
O*NET is assisting the USDOL in gathering occupational information on Adapted Physical Education Specialists.
Members of NCPEID are invited to participate in this information gathering process on Adapted Physical Education if they meet the following criteria:
Have at least one year of professional experience working in the occupation.
Have a minimum of five years combined professional experience practicing, training, teaching, and/or supervising others who perform in the occupation.
Are currently actively involved in the field and based in the United States.
If you are interested and meet the above criteria, please contact Jessica Fairley using her contact information below. Participants will be selected at random and will receive a $40 gift card and a framed certificate of appreciation from the USDOL.
Feel free to share this information with colleagues who may be interested in participating.
