(community care, court, agency, etc.) and does not fulfill licensure requirements.
Students planning to apply for state licensure should contact their academic advisor for information on degree programs designed to fulfill state licensure requirements.

In addition, the field of Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely
approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base,
focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining
a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations.
More so, the Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services,
but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery.
The Community Skill Standards define the competencies used
by direct service workers in a wide variety of service contexts in community settings across the nation.
In conclusion, designed to be relevant to diverse direct service roles (residential,
vocational, therapeutic, etc.), the standards are based upon a nationally validated job
analysis involving a wide variety of human service workers, consumers, providers and educators.
