Certification

New Worker Certification Listening Sessions

The Minnesota Child Welfare Training Academy (MNCWTA) is interested in hearing your feedback about the proposed certification model for new workers. We hosted virtual and in-person options for individuals to learn more about the model. In these sessions, we provided background information and rationale for certification, the legislative requirements, and the structure of the proposed model for new worker certification.
