CWTA X113 - New Worker Foundations
Description
Learners who are new child protection employees in Minnesota are statutorily required to complete New Worker Foundations within the first 6 months of employment.
New Worker Foundations provides comprehensive training for new child welfare workers. The Foundations curriculum is a blended learning experience staggered over time for workers to further integrate knowledge and skills into practice that supports healthy outcomes for children and families. Building intercultural competence is a golden thread that is introduced and followed throughout training by way of debriefs, check-in’s and connections that are made throughout the curriculum. Training is designed to support anti-racist practice and reduce disparities and disproportionality of Native American and African American children being removed from homes.
Note for Tribal Workers
Tribal workers have lived experience that we would like to honor and incorporate into our trainings, so any worker with a tribal email address for one of the eleven Minnesota tribes is included in this and does not need to take the ICWA/MIFPA prerequisite requirement. Note - all other prerequisite requirement still need to be completed.
If you are a tribal worker and have completed X110 and X111, please submit a ticket to request to be registered for New Worker Foundations.
