This article describes three programs that Kentucky is using to link the classroom and the field practice of students and social workers. The state has developed a consortium of educational partnerships with nine state universities. This consortium has allowed for creative student educational experiences and child welfare placements at the baccalaureate level, master's-level education with a focus on agency needs and capacities, and a post-employment program that allows for evaluation of new worker abilities and knowledge base. Kentucky continues to improve both social work education and public child welfare practice with its innovative approaches to student and social worker development.

Welfare Agencies

Child welfare agencies are seeking ways to improve the competency of their staff. As a result of partnership efforts between social work education programs and public child welfare agencies, an increasing number of BSW and MSW programs have accessed Title IV-E training funds to support the social work education of current and potential child welfare workers. This article reports on a survey of the use of this funding stream in social work education. It identifies (1) trends in its use, (2) characteristics of programs that do and do not receive funding, and (3) the impact of this funding source on social work education. The findings also reflect on the impact of use of Title IV-E funds on child welfare training in the United States.
