2012 Webinar Series
Topic:Developing Centers of Date:September 12, 2012 Materials:Developing Centers of Excellence (pdf) ViewSynopsis:Most of us who have worked in state government can describe the challenges with systems integration across child serving system initiatives, as well as the exorbitant costs of implementing workforce development initiatives in each of these systems. There is often frustration with coordinating and contracting with outside consultants and purveyors, the need for ongoing consulting due to workforce turnover, disconnection between each of the system reform efforts, and notable challenges with linking data across systems. As a result, there are a handful of states that are implementing local Centers of Excellence (COE). Participants in this webinar will learn about the benefits of developing a local COE, roles for COEs, and strategies for implementation. A sample RFA for establishing a local COE will also be provided. This webinar hosted by Community Solutions at the University of South Florida is for educational purposes only.
