What types of activities would the agencies or organization selected be doing?
This project will use a multi-stage process to develop, implement and refine a train-the-trainer and technical assistance approach to address staff recruitment, retention and training challenges in community human service settings supporting individuals with developmental and other severe disabilities on a national level. The model will include 1) assisting organizations to assess their recruitment and retention challenges then develop an intervention plan to deal with these challenges; 2) providing web based training on recruitment and retention strategies called the College of Frontline Supervision; 3) conducting two intensive train the trainer institutes for 10-15 staff identified as change agents within their organizations; 4) supporting these change agents within participating organization to provide training to 70-100 frontline supervisors either within their organization or region utilizing skills taught at the National Training Institute for Frontline Supervisors in Minnesota;
