National APSE has also tailored our other individual member levels to meet the specific needs of students and individuals who support the work of APSE and the Employment First Movement, but who are not professionals in the field.

New Student Memberships introduce active students to the Employment First fields. includes access to the 6 JVR Webinars a year, as well as networking and learning opportunities on committees and within State Chapters.

Individuals interested and engaged in the Employment First movement can have their vital voices heard by participating in networking and advocacy activities at the state and National level.
