Professional Excellence and Professional Development Training

Professional Excellence Veteran Staff Training

Professional Development targets the training needs of experienced DFCS staff and provides them with an opportunity to refine and upgrade their skills. Relevant, accessible training is developed in response to ongoing regional needs assessments. Professional development allows staff members to increase their knowledge of child welfare best practice and improve their skills through a variety of avenues. Staff may participate in training offered by the DFCS Education and Training Services Section, access Professional Excellence Training, attend outside approved training and conferences, and may complete college or graduate level coursework through the IV-E schools of Social Work.  Opportunities for professional development encourage our staff to gain the education and training needed to better equip them to effectively serve the families they work with every day. Training opportunities are open to social service and family independence staff.
