Child Welfare Workforce Training & Development

The State of Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare is soliciting a public or non‑profit university to deliver a comprehensive training and development program for its child‑welfare workforce. The contractor will staff five regional hubs with licensed master social‑worker (LMSW) trainers (plus a 0.75 FTE), develop and maintain curricula, provide on‑boarding academy courses, ongoing in‑service and supervisor training, field‑based coaching, and required pre‑/post‑tests. Travel to each regional office must occur at least three times per quarter, with all travel reimbursed through the contractor after prior approval. The contract is a cost‑plus reimbursement with an 8 % indirect‑cost cap, runs for three years (with possible extensions to five), and requires extensive quarterly, semi‑annual, and annual reporting, as well as a quality‑assurance and transition plan. • Must employ LMSW‑qualified trainers (or obtain a hiring‑cycle waiver). • Minimum three regional‑office visits per quarter per trainer; travel reimbursed to contractor, not direct to trainers. • Deliver on‑boarding academy, ongoing workforce development, supervisor training, curriculum creation, e‑learning modules, and evaluation (mandatory pre/post tests). • Provide monthly invoices, quarterly/annual reports, QA reports every 90 days, and a 90‑day transition plan. • Eligibility limited to public or non‑profit private universities; no subcontracting allowed.
