Director Of Training

THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY BETWEEN $92,301-$106,146.

The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services, and provides subsidized child care vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

ACS’ Division of Child and Family Well-being (CFWB) designs and executes strategies to support caregivers, children, and communities, so they can thrive and enjoy self-determination. A critical piece of CFWB’s portfolio is the operation of the City’s subsidized child care voucher system - one of the largest child care assistance programs in the country. ACS providers vouchers to tens of thousands of low-income and child welfare-involved families, allowing parents and caregivers to access affordable child care at the provider of their choice while they pursue work, education, or training.

The Office of Strategy, Research, and Provider Partnerships (SRPP) within the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB) at ACS oversees strategic, analytical, and data-driven initiatives that support CFWB offices, programs, and policies. The SRPP is comprised of four specialized teams: Family Enrichment Centers Program Management (FEC PM), the FEC Program Sustainability and Improvement (PSI) team, the Child Care Data Management and Systems (DMS) team, and the Strategy and Research (SR) team. This position will sit on the FEC Program Management team and report to the Executive Director of that team.

• Serve as a key contributing member of the FEC management team, contributing to the execution of the program’s organizational strategy and goals
• Establish regular communication processes and timeframes for training delivery and assessment
• With support from other members of the senior leadership team, lead knowledge building and knowledge management functions to ensure program impact
