The National Child Welfare Workforce Institute is a newly funded federal project to cultivate leadership at multiple levels within child welfare agencies, expanding the skills and knowledge of professionals who serve in public and Tribal child welfare systems. This Institute will undertake a broad range of activities to promote effective child welfare practice and leadership development. These activities include delivering child welfare training curricula, facilitating national peer networks, strategic dissemination of effective and promising workforce practices, and administering sub-grants for child welfare professional education stipend programs.
