Please Note: Our website has moved to http://etp.granite.edu/  and this information is no longer accurate. Please update your bookmarks accordingly. You should be redirected soon. If not, please click the link above. 

Granite State College has contracted with theNew Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) to provide education and training to foster and adoptive parents, residential child care staff, non-licensed relative caregivers, and other eligible community members. DCYF staff members are encouraged to join caregivers as a matter of best practice.

The Education and Training Partnership strives to enhance the quality of care for children in placement by providing competency based, accessible, and local training. Curricula is developed responsively, collaboratively, in a manner designed to maximize adult learning. Whether classroom based, workbook based or on-line; courses are delivered in a supportive atmosphere that recognizes participants' level of experience. The Education and Training Partnership embraces a system of quality improvement and program evaluation that is both proactive and comprehensive.

The Education and Training Partnership envisions a decrease in the number of placements experienced by New Hampshire children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse/neglect; as foster parents, adoptive parents, residential child care staff, and non-licensed relative caregivers; strive to achieve knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to provide healthy, supportive and stable homes to children and youth.

Through the Education and Training Partnership (E&TP), Granite State College offers four caregiver training programs, each having unique, eligibility requirements.
