As part of the California State University, Fresno Foundation, the Central California Training Academy operates under the College of Health and Human Services through the Department of Social Work Education. The Academy plays a crucial role in providing comprehensive classroom training, coaching, and organizational support to child welfare social workers, supervisors, managers, and other IV-E eligible agencies within 12 Central California counties. These counties include Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo on the Coastal side; Kern, Tulare, and Kings in the Southern area; and Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus in the Northern region.

This full-time, benefited position is for the Workforce Development Training and Technical Assistant I or II, with classification depending on candidate qualifications and experience. The role primarily supports training logistics, including the management of enrollment, completion of eLearning modules, classroom training assistance, and coordination of training delivery alongside trainers. Responsibilities also include monitoring attendance, duplication and submission of training materials, providing refreshments, classroom setup, troubleshooting audiovisual and technical equipment, introducing trainers, and engaging with participants. An essential component of the role involves preparing training evaluations, managing embedded evaluation forms, pre/post-testing materials, and accurately entering data into the designated tracking systems. Working collaboratively with a team of assistants, this role supports both virtual and in-person training across various county social service agencies in the region.

The Workforce Development Training and Technical Assistant I serves as an entry-level position, requiring supervision and guidance while executing duties with a basic understanding of the necessary tasks. This position involves receiving specific instructions and closely supervised work related to training support, technical troubleshooting, and participant interaction. The assistant is expected to maintain confidentiality, deliver professional communication, and demonstrate strong organizational skills.

Conversely, the Technical Assistant II level commands a higher degree of independence, using advanced skills to troubleshoot complex issues and lead process improvements for the team.
