Yellowquill receives $600K for CFS staff training

Yellowquill University College has received more than $600K from the Government of Manitoba to support specialized training for Child and Family Services (CFS) staff. The funds will be used to support the First Nations Child and Family Services Worker Diploma Program, a two-year program that provides Indigenous-led training to case managers within Indigenous CFS agencies. “This training will help case managers gain the formal certification and specialized knowledge needed to support children and families, strengthening the foundation of Indigenous-led child welfare on the path to Nations reassuming jurisdiction over child and family services,” said MB Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine.
