TRAINEESHIPS/UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS

NCWWI Traineeships/University-Agency Partnerships are designed to increase the knowledge and skills of stipend recipients, address the workforce challenges of local child welfare systems, and build the capacity of social work programs to prepare students for positive, culturally competent, and productive careers in child welfare. 

 

From 2009-2013, the Children's Bureau supported more than 300 students through 12 different BSW, MSW or combined BSW/MSW NCWWI Traineeship programs. Beginning in 2014, 11 new university-agency partnership programs will be selected to carry on the next phase of this work.

 

We encourage you to explore the resources below to learn more about the impact and lessons learned from these programs, or how your school of social work or child welfare agency can become involved in NCWWI's child welfare workforce and partnership development:
