Employee Training & Development

Catholic Charities is committed to ensuring that all employees are properly prepared to deliver quality services to the many thousands of individuals and families served each year.  Training is viewed as an essential component for the professional development of the staff at Catholic Charities.

The two main components are the New Hire Orientation and Employee Development/Training.  Each employee is required to complete trainings as required by corporate, program requirements, contracts, COA and individual development.

To assist with the training, Catholic Charities has a number of resources/tools in place to assist in accomplishing this goal.  They are:

Training Library                                         DVD Collection
