The Road to CalWORKs 2.0

Santa Barbara County Department of Social Services is gearing up for CalWORKs 2.0 so we hosted a training put on by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Global Learning Partners to get ready. Almost 250 people from 17 different counties showed up and took part in what we feel was a tremendously successful training.

Now Santa Barbara County is gearing up for road testing so we wanted to show our staff as well as other social services agencies throughout the great state of California what to expect. Enjoy.

A special thanks to our trainers:
- LaDonna Pavetti - Vice President for Family Income Support at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
- Valerie Uccellani - Co-Owner and Senior Partner at Global Learnings Partners
- Megan Stanley - Consultant at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
