Wisconsin Child Welfare Professional Development System (WCWPDS) – Madison

The Wisconsin Child Welfare Professional Development System – Madison invoices your agency on a monthly basis for all training sessions that have been completed in the previous month. This bill will list all those from your agency who owe any training fees. There is no need to make arrangements for your agency to pay for your training session in advance (in fact, we prefer that they do not).

All other training attendees are considered nonmembers and will be assessed the nonmember rate.
