OCWTP 2017 Annual Report

fewer disruptions by coaching caregivers
on parenting skills and effective advocacy.
Expanded our focus from in-classroom
learning to workplace application, based on the research on training transfer.
Advanced best practice principles in risk and
safety assessments by continuing to integrate
Ohio’s CAPMIS tools into all OCWTP training.
Prepped liaisons and supervisors to help
youth transition from foster care to successful adulthood through the
Bridges program.
Offered population-specific conferences throughout the
Regional Training Center (RTC) network, targeting the regional knowledge and skill needs of foster caregivers,
caseworkers, or supervisors.

staff and caregivers as possible on how to identify and intervene for young victims of human trafficking.
Founded in 1986, the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program (OCWTP) is a comprehensive, competency-based in-service training system that promotes learning excellence for child welfare staff and caregivers - the Everyday Heroes who protect Ohio children and families.
The OCWTP is a collaborative effort of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), the Public Children Services Association of Ohio (PCSAO), eight Regional Training Centers (RTCs) throughout Ohio, and the Institute for Human Services (IHS).
