Workforce Excellence Overview
NCWWI is supporting seven workforce excellence sites (child welfare programs and their university partners) to build an effective, sustainable child welfare workforce. The NCWWI Workforce Excellence sites are engaged in systems change efforts that include evaluating the health of their organization, creating stipend plans with their university partners, and using evidence-informed strategies to build the leadership skills of their workforce. The aim of these grants is to create sustainable systemic change in service of improved outcomes that are equitable and just for children and families in their communities.
