The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services' current contract with the Institute for Human Services requires that we assist you with obtaining current exposure to the field of child welfare, if you have been out of child welfare practice for three years or more. If you do not have recent experience, you will need to participate in a field activity opportunity with a public child welfare agency. Click on the link for further information.
