C3Be is a subcontractor on a project from the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) for the development of a competency-based relational readiness framework to be used in a non-traditional home visitor career pathway. The project’s focus is to attract individuals interested in the home visiting profession, but do not have the formal education requirements that gain them access to employment in the field. Exploring this non-traditional pathway to becoming a home visitor will not only grow an understaffed field, but it will improve diversity to better reflect the populations served. The relational readiness framework will address both the soft skills and the relational skills needed to effectively work with families.
