Event Details

CWTAP promotes training excellence for Washington State’s child welfare workforce through the financial support of social work students and professionals. This state-funded partnership links the resources of the UW School of Social Work, Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence, and the state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). For over 30 years, CWTAP has provided qualified participants with specialized field education focused on casework in select DCYF offices. The field experience centers on topics such as abuse-and-neglect prevention, protective services, permanency planning, solution-based casework, and competency in working with diverse populations. Once students complete their MSW studies, they commit to seeking employment with the DCYF and agree to work for a time period equal to the time they receive financial assistance.

This event is open to all prospective students interested in the MSW programs at the UW School of Social Work Seattle Campus. Join us for a constructive and collaborative experience as you prepare for your application to CWTAP.
