SUMMARY:Closing the Gap: Addressing Racial Disparity in Licensure Exam Rates
DESCRIPTION:Register				\n							\n		Every year\, the human services sector experiences a staggering loss of licensure-track therapists from its workforce due to candidates struggling to pass licensure exams. In addition\, there is a large racial disparity in outcomes. Pass rates for Black-identifying test takers are more than 30% lower than for white-identifying test takers. \nIn addition to discussing this critical issue that negatively impacts therapists\, organizations\, and communities\, this session will provide strategies for increasing pass rates and ensuring an even distribution of educational and exam preparation resources to promote equity in standardized exams. Join this webinar with Social Current’s Strategic Industry Partner Triad to gain insights to help your staff and close the achievement gap. \nTakeaways\n\nOverview of Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) pass rate data\nA discussion about the ASWB response to this critical issue\nInsights and strategies employers can use to actively support their pre-licensed therapists to improve retention rates and promote more equitable outcomes\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nLicensure track therapists\nMental health supervisors\nTraining and professional development staff\nEquity\, diversity\, and inclusion staff\n\n	\n\n					\n\n										\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n				Presenter\n			\n		\n		\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Brandon Jones\n								\n																	CEO\nTriad \n								\n																										Biography\n									\n										\n											\n												\n													\n														\n													\n												\n												\n													\n														\n															\n																\n	                              	\n																																					\n																																			\n																	\n																		\n																			Brandon Jones\n																																							CEO\nTriad \n																																						\n																				Brandon Jones has over 20 years of experience in education/edtech\, business leadership\, and people development.
