CW PREP is an innovative career preparation program. In return for a two-year commitment to child welfare work, participants receive tuition, a stipend and additional training to excel.

The Child Welfare Prep certification through the Commonwealth of Kentucky requires an application and interview process, practicum experiences in public welfare agencies, participation in required training curricula, maintenance of a 3.0 GPA in social work courses, an institutional GPA of 2.5, and post graduation work commitment.
