Description

Child Welfare Foundation Training (CWFT or "Foundations") is designed and developed only for new child protection workers. The Foundations curriculum is a comprehensive, blended learning experience staggered over time for workers to further integrate knowledge and skills into practice. It provides skill and practice-intensive content, combining classroom and web-based modules. Instructor-led classrooms are scheduled and facilitated using a cohort model to enable networking and professional development. 

Foundations training is only for new workers and is assigned by a supervisor or tribal leader through the Training Portal. Supervisors who want to take Foundations should contact info@mnchildwelfaretraining.com to learn about options.
