Direct-service ladderCareer path
Most human-services careers climb the same path: start on the floor of a shelter or residential program, then manage a caseload, then manage people, then manage programs, then run them. In housing, homeless services, reentry and behavioral health the higher rungs usually ask for case-management or clinical experience; in education, youth development and advocacy they often don't.
