The Regional Training Centers

For child welfare training purposes, the state of Ohio is divided into eight Regional Training Centers, or RTCs.  Each RTC is responsible for the budgeting, scheduling, registration, and administration of child welfare-related training within its region, and for the production of related quarterly training calendars.  

In addition, RTCs collaborate with their constituent agencies regarding the identification of training needs, the implementation of training, transfer of learning, and other training-related issues.

All eight RTCs participate in the monthly OCWTP State Steering Committee meetings to discuss statewide planning initiatives, and to develop policy and procedure for the delivery of training.  

In addition, the RTCs convene monthly to discuss issues common to all RTCs, including:
bulletdevelopment of new trainers
bulletimplementation of specific workshops
bullettransfer of learning
bulletRTC operations
