About SPARK-CT
SPARK-CT is a unique program that trains people to become Direct Employment Support Professionals (DESPs). Connecticut’s Bureau of Rehabilitation Services (BRS) created this program to help maximize everyone’s potential. You will learn how to best assist someone with a disability so that they can also do their best. This includes finding a job they feel good about and helping them keep that job.
Community Rehabilitation Providers (CRPs) are responsible for the SPARK-CT training. CRPs are organizations that aid people with disabilities to live a full life. These organizations will give you the skills you need to become a qualified professional.
Learn a new profession through SPARK-CT
People who join SPARK-CT will complete their training through one of our partner Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs).
