Welcome to the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute. Our purpose is to build the capacity of the nation’s child welfare workforce and improve outcomes for children and families through activities that support the development of skilled child welfare leaders in public and tribal child welfare systems, and in private agencies that are contracted by the State to provide case management services that are traditionally provided by the public child welfare system. Our goals are to derive promising practices in workforce development, deliver child welfare leadership training for middle managers and supervisors, facilitate BSW and MSW traineeships, engage national peer networks, support strategic dissemination of effective and promising leadership and workforce practices, and advance knowledge through collaboration and evaluation.
NCWWI’s workforce development activities promote…
| Learning: Fostering continuous learning that is interactive, reflective and relevant |
| Leading: Cultivating diverse leadership at multiple levels within child welfare systems |
| Changing: Supporting change through workforce development and organizational capacity building |
