Workforce Workgroup


The Workforce Workgroup developed a report with recommendations related to the recruitment and retention of quality caseworkers.  This continued the work done by the group in 2014 to identify the priority areas to achieve its strategic plan goal.  A report of recommendations was provided to the commission in 2015. A copy of the report can be found below. The workgroup recognizes the critical importance of caseworkers to achieving safety, permanency, and well-being for children in Nebraska.   DHHS and NFC presented information to the Commission following the workgroup’s report regarding their efforts to recruit and retain skilled caseworkers.  The Commission and workgroup support DHHS and lead agency Nebraska Families Collaborative’s (NFC) continued efforts to professionalize and enhance the role of caseworker in the child welfare system.

The Workforce Workgroup continues to meet regularly. If you would like to become involved or know more about this workgroup, please contact Commission staff at NECC.Contact@nebraska.gov or (402) 471-4416.
