- Curriculum development
- Needs assessment
- Data analysis

Highlight: Oregon Home Care Commission
Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC) has contracted the Center to create a portfolio of professional development courses for Home Care Workers and Personal Support Workers. These courses will be an innovative hybrid of self-paced online learning and in-person offerings. Three courses are in development: Enhanced Certification, Exceptional Certification, and Ventilator Dependent Quadriplegic (VDQ) Certificate.
