Description

The goal of the Permanency and Adoption Competency Certificate (PACC) is to increase the number of qualified permanency and adoption mental health and child welfare professionals in Minnesota who are able to work in collaborative, cross-disciplinary and multicultural contexts. PACC includes 70+ Social Work CEU’s including: the National Training Initiative (NTI) developed by the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.), anchored regularly with full-day Sessions designed to deepen and integrate learning through interactive discussion and experiential learning, and ongoing Case Consultation.  Coursework is a hybrid of independent online learning and interactive classroom sessions and case consultation. Training schedule, pace and assignments are designed for participants with full-time employment, but require regular out-of-class pre/post work and NTI module completion. 
 

Eligibility

  • Learners need to have earned a BA/BS degree or have 5+ years of work experience in a permanency/adoption-adjacent role 

  • For the purposes of skill application, learners should have a current professional role impacted by permanency and adoption issues across an array of settings including public and tribal child welfare, mental health, education, and healthcare. Inquire with the coordinator with questions regarding eligibility.

Please view the PACC website for detailed training information and a full 2023-24 Course Training Calendar.

Once all components of the certificate are completed, learners will receive a certificate of completion and notification of CEUs earned.
