Adding Employment

The best way to find your employer is by using the Aspire Organization ID. You should get this number from the director or administrator of your program.

ADDING CURRENT EMPLOYMENT

Once you have the Aspire Organization ID, follow the steps below:

1. Log into your profile, click Manage Profiles (or Continue Application), select Start or Update my Aspire Profile, then click Next. 

2. Click on Review next to the Employment History section, and click New Employer. 

3. You will then arrive on the Employer Search page. Enter the Aspire Organization ID OR license/permit number, leave the other search boxes blank, and click Search.

If you are a school age professional and choose to search by license number, please enter a 0 first if your number has less than 6 digits.

4. Select your employer on the right-hand side and enter the necessary information.

If you do not see your exact position title, please select the one most applicable to you. If you are working in a Family Child Care setting, please be sure to select position titles related to Family Child Care (i.e., Family Child Care Provider, Assistant Family Child Care Provider, etc.). If you are a seasonal or temporary employee, please select Teacher Aide or PreK Teacher Aide.

5. Confirm each section, click Review Application, and Submit at the very end of the process. The system will notify your employer that you are now on their employees list.

If you still can't find your employer, scroll down to locate the Employer Not Listed? section and click +Add New Employer to manually enter your program's information.

Entered the wrong position title? If the employment record status is Self-Reported, you can select Edit from the Manage dropdown menu and choose the correct title. Employment records that are Verified by Program cannot be changed; you'll need to reach out to [e-mail] for further assistance.

ADDING PAST EMPLOYMENT

Adding past employment follows the same steps as above, however, the record will remain as Self-Reported unless your previous employer is able to verify the record for you. If you're able, we suggest contacting your previous employer so they may do so. Please note that without proof of employment, the Aspire Registry team cannot verify past employment records on your behalf.
