The
Southern Region Public Child Welfare Training (PCWTA) Academy provides a
comprehensive, competency based in-service training program for the public
child welfare social workers of five Southern California counties (Imperial,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego).
The training program consists of core, advanced, and specialized
training classes and courses provided to approximately 2,000 child welfare
social workers, supervisors, and managers.
The Academy’s curriculum is based on statewide practice standards
and child welfare competencies, but it is also tailored to meeting regional
training needs.
The Academy program plan is implemented through a collaborative
partnership by Academy staff, faculty, and directors from the
above-referenced counties and three universities offering social work degree
programs.
They are Loma Linda University, California State University San
Bernardino, and San Diego State University.
The Southern Region PCWTA has training centers in both Oceanside and
Riverside and is sponsored by the California Department of Social Services
in cooperation with the California Social Work Education Council (CalSWEC).
