The Role of Social Service Workforce Development in Care Reform

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SERVICE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN CARE REFORM

This working paper explores the topic of social service workforce strengthening as it relates to child care reform. It is intended to be a useful resource for reform efforts and a practical and accessible overview for use by policy-makers, practitioners, and service providers in contexts that are either considering the implications of care reforms for their social service workforce or are already engaged in a process and are searching for strategies to align and increase the effectiveness of the workforce to implement care reforms.
