Developing Insights
Today, I was reading about the article Transitioning from Training to Independent Work: Impacts on Early Turnover. The article was talking about the disconnect between specialized education and field placement among social workers. Their education and an experience does not prepare them for long term employment and stressors of the field. There was even reported discrepancies between training information by employers and actual agency practices.
Questions I have:
How do we keep new, young talent in the Department of Children and Families so that they can be the change they want to see?
I want to understand how supervisors understand these workforce constraints in terms of the effects on children?
Is DCF structured to effectively meet the needs of Florida’s vulnerable children?
Being that 30% of child deaths were dealing with families under investigation, how can DCF control and alter the conditions of these families?
