Reprofessionalizing child welfare services: an evaluation of a Title IVE training program

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that Title IVE-trained social workers have a higher degree of child welfare knowledge and confidence in their abilities, but do not have a significantly higher level of job satisfaction than other workers. IVE-trained workers also experienced greater retention rates, with 89% still employed during the 1994-97 study period.
