Based on years of consulting with more than 300 organizations, SHIFT has determined that the following minimum education requirements ensure that organizations have the ability to achieve and sustain organizational transformation.

In order to be eligible for SHIFT’s Technology First Accreditation or Employment First Accreditation and accompanying consulting, organizations are expected to complete these educational requirements.

Technology First Accreditation Requirements

Below is a visual depiction of the Technology First Accreditation process. A detailed explanation of each phase of the process is provided during an organization’s orientation, also know as the Next Steps Meeting, and SHIFT subject matter experts consult with organizations through each phase.

Note: Organizations servicing multiple states will require each individual state entity to be accredited individually.
