Introduction to W-2
The Department of Workforce Development, in cooperation with the Division of Children
and Families of the Department of Health and Family Services, has developed an online
training module, Introduction to Wisconsin Works, which provides an overview of
the mission, goals and key policies of the Wisconsin Works program (a companion
course, Introduction to Child Welfare, was also developed for W-2 workers).
The course takes approximately 30 minutes. All child welfare supervisors and line
staff are encouraged to take this cross-system training course to increase their
knowledge of the W-2 program and enhance their ability to collaborate with their
W-2 program colleagues. As part of their training requirements, W-2 workers complete
the "Bridges to Collaboration" or the Child Welfare Overview in the "Introduction
to Collaboration" to improve collaboration on behalf of children and families involved
in both the child welfare and W-2 systems.
When you are ready, you can
continue to the Introduction to W-2 course.
