Juvenile court staff training offered online Oct. 27-29

The Michigan Judicial Institute will present a “Basic Interviewing, Counseling, and Communication Techniques Webinar” Tuesday through Thursday, October 27-29, beginning at 9 a.m. each day via Zoom.

This webinar is held pursuant to Michigan Supreme Court Administrative Order 1985-5, which states, in part: “A probation officer/caseworker ... must complete the Michigan Judicial Institute certification training for juvenile court staff within one year after date of employment.” (Administrative Order No. 1985-5, § I.C.1.b.1.) Participation in this training webinar is one segment of the certification process. The other segment is successful completion of the juvenile probation officer/caseworker certification examination, based upon the self-paced Juvenile Probation Officer/Caseworker Self-Instructional training manual.
