HOSTED EXAMS:
On July 11, 2023, at the Project Search 2023 Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we had six candidates sit for the CESP exam and all of them passed. We are so proud to have Project Search employees support the professionalization of our field, by providing community-integrated employment support with best practices and ethics in mind.
We welcome these new CESPs! Toney Mykel, Wendy Larson, Andrea Jones, Katheryn Schwaar, and Melissa Sutton!
We also want to thank our proctor for this event-held exam.
Thank you Amanda Buncher, CESP from Project Search!
Hosting an in-person exam at events or for larger groups has never been easier. We encourage agencies with larger staff needing to earn their CESPs to consider hosting an exam on-site.
