NCWWI Information Session: University Partnerships Request for Proposals 

The National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) is pleased to release a “Request for Proposals (RFP)” for its University Partnerships program.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) supports the development of up to 11 University Partnerships between schools (or departments) of social work and state, county, or tribal child welfare agencies who propose to collaborate to address workforce challenges and opportunities through leadership, education, professional development and organizational intervention activities. In keeping with the vision of the Children's Bureau, this proposal calls for a strategic partnership between social work programs and child welfare agencies focused more intensively as a service to the agencies, which is a significant change from traditional traineeship programs that consisted primarily of student stipends and limited curricular work.

Join us to learn more about the NCWWI University Partnerships Program & how to complete the RFP
