Learn About SHIFT
SHIFT transforms how organizations support people through Technology First and Employment First education and accreditation.
About SHIFT
SHIFT was created to address a critical gap — the lack of structured, high-quality education focused on a Technology First approach. What was missing wasn't the technology; it was the knowledge, confidence, and systems to implement it in a person-centered way.
What We Do Today
SHIFT is the nationally recognized leader in education and accreditation, partnering with 350+ organizations across 37 states and Canada — providing education, NADSP-accredited certifications, organizational accreditation, tools, and consulting.
