Prerequisites

Before you take RAFT training, you need to complete the Orientation and Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse trainings.

There are two versions of the orientation. You should take the one that's right for you. The training is available through Workday Learning.

• If you'll be caring for a child you don't know: take the General Applicant Orientation. This is a 5-part video series.
  
• If you'll be caring for a relative or child you know: take the Child-Specific and Relatives Orientation. This is a 4-part video series.

The Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse training is the same for everyone. It is also available on Workday Learning.

We also highly recommend you watch these videos before participating in RAFT:
