About WCWTS
The child welfare training system is a partnership involving the Wisconsin Department
of Children and Families (DCF), county child welfare programs, tribal child welfare
programs, the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare (BMCW) and Special Needs Adoption
Program (SNAP) and the University of Wisconsin system. The child welfare training
system, through the regional training partnerships, provides training for over 2,000
child welfare workers throughout the State of Wisconsin. This includes pre-service
and foundation training for new workers and ongoing training for advanced practice
skills and specialized topics.
Central administrative support to the child welfare training system is provided
by the University of Wisconsin-Madison
School of Human Ecology under contract to DCF.
