Therapeutic workforce development: Technology and the professional persona

Abstract

The Animation Project (TAP) is a therapeutic workforce development program that teaches put-at-risk youth digital technology skills and develops core professional skills. Drama therapy theory and interventions are often employed by TAP creative arts therapists in guiding young adults in their professional development. A case illustration is presented to showcase how a participant may move through the levels and how role theory has been used to develop the professional persona alongside technical advancement. The results of this illustration indicate that role theory and method interventions positively enhanced a TAP intern’s professional persona alongside technical skill acquisition.
