The Coalition for Children, Youth & Families, in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Children & Families, launched a Recruitment Series in 2017 to provide training and support to Foster Care Coordinators and recruitment teams from counties, private child placing agencies, and Tribes looking to learn recruitment basics and strategies. The Self-paced Recruitment Series is an adaptation of that original series.
The recordings and exercises below have been paired and sectioned into four parts that can be completed in as little as four weeks. This content allows for private, public, and Tribal agencies to have access to on-demand recruitment training that they can complete at their own pace.
Support from FCARC staff is available upon request as individuals work through the curriculum.
- Week 1: Video | Exercises
- Week 2: Video | Exercises
- Week 3: Video | Exercises
- Week 4: Video | Exercises
Please share your feedback about the Self-paced Recruitment Series with us by taking a short survey. Your input is very much appreciated and will be considered as we modify existing resources and create new ones.
Below is a list of past training sessions specifically for workers in the child welfare field.
Upon completing this training, users of PDS Online are encouraged to add it as external training to their transcripts. Please consult the Master PDS Guide for assistance.
