Have you thought about entering a workforce that significantly impacts people's lives?

UMF offers a two-course, online Employment Specialist (ES) Certificate, with one of the courses TUITION FREE. This certificate helps advance you on your job working with individuals with disabilities and limited conditions to help them find job opportunities.

UMF senior Mikayla Deschaine is graduating in 2024 with a Rehabilitation Services major and her Employment Specialist Certificate. "My biggest fear was never being able to go back to school. But Farmington proved to me it is not only possible, but it is within reach," said Deschaine.
