Abstract
The state of California has developed an infrastructure to address the workforce development needs of public human service agencies via the Title IV-E Social Work Training program. However, a recent analysis of student retention data indicates that the current infrastructure is not adequately addressing workforce needs for the rural and remote areas of the state. This article reports on a study conducted with county, tribal, community college, and staff stakeholders to explore rural workforce needs and possible solutions. Through the needs-assessment process, a collaborative pilot project using a blended learning model has been designed and initiated. Implications for the dual goals of improving rural workforce development and addressing the core social work value, social justice, through education are discussed.
