CE Course Description

There is increasing interest in the role that self-regulation may play in the ability of people to obtain and maintain employment.  This CE course describes how the development and use of self-regulation skills may be hindered by environmental factors, as well as how these skills may be strengthened through interventions and strategies that have been successful in other contexts.
