About Us
Welcome to the Colorado Child Welfare Training System (CWTS)! We are funded by the Division of Child Welfare to provide training and professional development services to child welfare staff and caregivers, serving all 64 counties in Colorado. CWTS has been operated by a dedicated team at the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus since 2013.
The CWTS project has demonstrated success working toward its mission to meet the learning and professional development needs of Colorado’s caseworkers, supervisors, case aides, resource caregivers, and other child-and-family-serving professionals. Through an array of dynamic learning experiences, coaching, resource sharing, and community building, we are supporting a diverse and ever-changing workforce.
The CWTS project holds these primary principles:
- We design and deliver learning experiences for adult learners that are effective and engaging.
- We work in collaboration with the Training Steering Committee (TSC), which is composed of a wide range of stakeholders, including state/county leadership and community partners. To get involved or learn more about the TSC, you can visit their website.
- We nurture a close partnership with the Team at the Division of Child Welfare (DCW).
