摘要：

In this article, we provide an overview of existing university-agency partnerships in child welfare. Then we discuss in detail one state's extension of its partnership approach to enhancing professional development system via an initiative called Credit for Learning, where child welfare workers are able to meet agency training requirements while earning graduate course credit that can be applied towards a master's degree in social work. Knowledge gained from the experience of developing and implementing this initiative is also discussed.
