Welcome to the Minnesota Child Welfare Training Academy!

Our mission is to train, develop, and support the skills, expertise, and well-being of Minnesota’s child welfare workforce while nurturing a commitment to equitable child welfare practice.

Updates

Active Efforts/MAAFPACWDA Training

As part of the Minnesota African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act (MAAFPCWDA), new training has been developed for Hennepin and Ramsey County child welfare professionals. The course is called Active Efforts Training: Family Preservation and the MAAFPCWDA Framework (CWTA X221). Learn more.

ICWA/MIFPA 2-Day Training

ICWA/MIFPA Foundations (TTCP x101.C) will soon replace many of the existing ICWA/MIFPA trainings. Any of the current ICWA/MIFPA 2-Day trainings will satisfy this requirement.

  • ICWA/MIFPA Foundations (TTCP x101.C)
  • ICWA/MIFPA Ongoing Worker Training (CWTA X212)
  • ICWA/MIFPA Foundations for New Workers (CWTA X219)
  • ICWA/MIFPA Foundations for County Agency Supervisors (CWTA X216)
  • ICWA/MIFPA Foundations for County Administrators (CWTA X222)

The curriculum is the same in all courses, but tailored to those attending. All courses are taught by the Tribal Training and Certification Partnership (TTCP).

Foundations Video Update

Following is our first monthly video update for the launch of New Worker Foundations. More videos are coming throughout the summer.

Minnesota Child Welfare Practice Framework

Child welfare work requires a sophisticated set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in order to provide effective services to children and families. The Minnesota Child Welfare Practice Framework outlines the competencies required for quality practice among front-line child welfare professionals and their supervisors.
