Once you have all of your professional development information added to your profile, it is time to connect your account to your center’s profile. Please note, this is a required step for TRS providers.
The practitioner dashboard includes:
Workforce Registry ID number
Find My Career Lattice tab
Individual Professional Development Report tab
Apply to Become a Center Director tab
Manage Center Affiliations tab
This guide will go through the steps to connect to your center. You can also choose to grant access to your center director to view your individual professional development report and upload records into your profile on your behalf. Please note that center directors can only add information. They cannot edit or delete any older records.
