Child Welfare Training Assessment project

First began in 1992 as collaboration between the Cabinet and the Kent School’s Rod Barber.  The purpose of the assessment is to see if new workers are learning knowledge and skills in training and are then able apply this learning in the workplace.  The Louisville Child Welfare Training Evaluation Model is used to examine the impact of worker, trainer, supervisor, co-worker and other workplace variables on worker’s willingness and ability to enjoy training, learn during training, transfer that knowledge to the field and positively affect outcomes for children in the areas of safety, permanency and well-being. Tests were originally administered in the classroom and participants completed them during the training.
