The Training team’s desire is to create and teach high quality, easy to understand trainings that provide professional and personal development. We bring our skills, knowledge, and diverse backgrounds to support the training needs of the citizens of Missouri, providers, and the Department of Social Services staff. These practical and easy to understand trainings are built with our own families in mind. We want to make sure anyone can follow along and learn from the trainings we develop here at OWCI, and are able to access the help the Department of Social Services has for all Missourians.
