Mission

Promote best child welfare practice through comprehensive skill development, strategic partnerships, and effective advocacy

About the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program (OCWTP)

Founded in 1986, the OCWTP is a comprehensive, competency-based inservice training (CCBIT) system for staff, managers, and resource families in Ohio’s 88 county Public Children Services Agencies (PCSAs). Designed as a state/county, public/private collaboration, the OCWTP develops and provides an array of training activities to promote mastery of the complex knowledge and skills needed to assure protection and permanence for Ohio’s abused and neglected children.

Regional Training Center (RTC)

For child welfare training purposes, the OCWTP divides Ohio into 8 RTCs, each of which is responsible for the budgeting, scheduling, registration, and administration of child welfare-related training within its region. Each RTC collaborates with its constituent agencies regarding the identification of training needs, the implementation of training, transfer of learning, and other training-related issues.
