Unless otherwise indicated all training days begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. with instruction from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We make every effort to ensure that training occurs as scheduled. We will notify you at the earliest possible time if there is a cancellation.

Members of the NEW Partnership, and others that meet the reciprocity requirements, attend NEW Partnership training at a low or nominal fee (per Article 9 of the NEW Partnership By-Laws), currently set at $18 per day. Nonmembers pay the full daily training rate, currently calculated at $105 per day.

Member – Staff providing child welfare services or other individuals as defined below of one of the 26 county departments of social/human services within the boundaries of the NEW Partnership region, UWGB and its Social Work Professional Program staff, and the Northern and Northeastern Regional Offices of DHFS, as defined in Article 2 of the NEW Partnership By-Laws.

Other Individuals – Individuals who may be leased or contracted (1) who provide public child welfare functions for the county agency, (2) whose principle work site and day-to-day program supervision is provided by the county agency, and (3) the county agency pays directly for training and mileage expenses because expenses are not included as part of the overhead costs in the contract/lease.

Reciprocity – Members of one of the other four training partnerships in Wisconsin (Western Wisconsin, Southern, Milwaukee, and Tribal) as well as employees of DCFS are granted reciprocity and pay the NEW Partnership daily member rate to attend training. (Reciprocity is defined in Article 9 of the NEW Partnership By-Laws.)

Nonmembers – All other individuals who attend NEW Partnership training are considered nonmembers and pay the daily nonmembership training rate.

To ensure your place in the program and to help us accommodate you, we ask that you register as early as possible. The description of each training session includes a registration deadline. You will receive a confirmation letter before the training. Please feel free to call us for a map.

Registrants, registered for a training session offered by NEW Partnership, who wish to no longer attend the session for which they are registered must cancel more than five (5) working days prior to the first day of the training in order to avoid fiscal penalties. Registrants who cancel more than five (5) days prior to a training session will be refunded the registration fee they or their agency paid for the cancelled training session.

Registrants who cancel five (5) or fewer working days prior to the first day of the training session will not be refunded the registration fee they or their agency paid for the session or will be billed for the registration fee if the NEW Partnership has not yet received the registration fee. However, the registrant will not be charged if they can arrange for someone from their same agency to register and attend in their place. Please inform the NEW Partnership of the substitution prior to the training session by calling 920-465-2724.

Registrants who transfer to another training session five (5) or fewer working days prior to the first day of the training session will be treated as a cancellation and the registrant remains responsible for paying the registration fee.
