Services overview

The workshops in this section are designed to help probation officers develop case plans that balance accountability with services to ensure community safety and individual rehabilitation. Training can involve participants from a single organization or multiple organizations in a county or region.

Customization

Courses that follow can be delivered as described or adjusted to meet the needs of training participants and sponsoring agencies. Customization takes into consideration:
  • experience levels and program backgrounds of trainees
  • training objectives
  • performance gaps training should address
  • whether or not training is mandated
  • agency circumstances and practices related to the topic
Course topics and activities are adjusted to tailor training to the agency and audience.

If your organization has a training need not addressed on this site, The Center can develop a new course or training program.

Transfer of learning

Center training incorporates content and delivery methods that facilitate transfer of learning from the training room to the job. Center staff also can work with agencies on training overviews for supervisors and managers as well as other pre- and post-training activities that promote transfer of learning.

Professional credit

Upon request qualifying workshops can be offered for continuing education credit through the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, California Board of Registered Nursing, and California Board of Corrections.
