| Abstract: |
Since 1980, Title IV-E education programs have provided stipends and academic training for public child welfare (PCW) workers. Based on survey data of 5,723 PCW workers from a southern state, multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between social work education, perception toward Title IV-E programs, and workforce retention. Results indicate that having a positive perception toward Title IV-E stipends could reduce intent to leave. However, intent to leave was high among PCW workers with an MSW degree.
