THE CHILD WELFARE WORKFORCE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
he National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) has named the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (GA-DFCS), Georgia State University and the University of Georgia one of eight national NCWWI Agency-University Partnership Workforce Excellence sites.
“The community partnership focus offers the opportunity to be immersed in the world of collaborative work. This is an invaluable skill set because as social servants we have to be able to provide resources for the people we are serving. This program helped me master and understand the interconnectedness and importance of developing partnerships needed to meet the needs of those we serve.”
