Careers staff work with CARF surveyors to ensure best practices regarding employment services, curriculum, and facilities for participants in the Careers Program. A CARF accreditation demonstrates substantial conformance to standards and shows that processes developed by the organization are likely to result in positive outcomes for participants. Each accreditation lasts three years, and involves annual paperwork sent to surveyors and maintaining ongoing conformance to the conditions made effective by CARF.
