Communities of Practice
Wise is proud to host a variety of communities of practice that strengthen connections, innovation, and peer learning across the field of supported employment. A community of practice is a group of people who share a common interest or profession and come together regularly to learn from one another, exchange ideas, and build collective knowledge. Through shared learning, discussion, and collaboration, communities of practice support ongoing growth and improvement in specific areas of practice.
