Juvenile Placement Core was developed to be consistent with the flow of the placement process once a youth is ordered into a foster care placement all the way through case closure, including information about extended foster care. Participants who complete this course will have a full understanding of all Division 31 requirements. The course material is presented in a variety of ways to account for various learning styles with a mix of lecture, short videos and discussion, practical skill building activities and small group discussion exercises. Content is comprised of technical, practical tasks mixed in with some of the adaptive skills needed in a placement probation officer. Below is the breakdown of the course’s five modules that are covered in the 6-day course.  CPOC’s Juvenile Placement Core meets the California Department of Social Services (DSS) training requirements for placement staff. It is preferred that placement probation officers complete Probation Core before enrolling in Juvenile Placement Core.
