What types of training are available from the Minnesota WIC Program?
Prior to initial authorization, a store representative who will train store cashiers must attend a group training session. After authorization, a store representative who trains the store cashiers must attend group training approximately every three years. Additionally, stores will receive additional training through newsletters, videos, and store monitoring visits by WIC personnel. If your store is found to be violating WIC Program rules, store staff may be required to complete additional training as well. We have cashier training videos available to assist you in training store personnel. If you would like a copy of the video (available in VHS or DVD formats), please contact Theresa Graham at (651) 201-4417 or theresa.graham@state.mn.us. Copies of previous WIC Matters newsletters are also available. We can also arrange for face-to-face training for your store personnel. To do so, please contact Erin Kelsey at (651) 201-4415 or erin.kelsey@state.mn.us.
