Founded in 1986, the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program is a comprehensive, competency–based in–service training system for staff, managers, and resource families in Ohio’s 88 county Public Children Services Agencies (PCSAs). Training is provided by highly skilled and certified trainers through a regionally organized delivery system.

Designed as a state/county, public/private collaboration, the OCWTP develops and provides an array of training activities to promote mastery of the complex knowledge and skills needed to assure protection and permanence for Ohio’s abused and neglected children.
