Christian Family Care is dedicated to providing the opportunity for our team to fulfill the continuing education requirements of their respective professions and to support advancement within the organization.
PROMOTION AND ADVANCEMENT
All open positions are posted externally and internally through Workplace and the CFC website for any staff interested, without a repercussive effect on his or her current position. Any employee in good standing is eligible for promotion consideration, assuming he or she meets the minimum qualifications for the position. It is best practice to speak with your current supervisor if you are interested in an open position before applying. You may also speak with the hiring manager of the open position to learn more. For your convenience, we have created an Open Position Interest Form for CFC employees to alert Staff Care of your interest and help you navigate the potential complexities that can occur and arrange conversations between supervisors.
TRAINING
Besides in-house training provided by credentialed staff and representatives from the community, staff may have the opportunity to attend workshops and conferences which align with the work done within CFC. Social workers and counselors are also encouraged to serve in community organizations and to enroll in academic training, which will enhance their professional skills. Training hours will be paid as work hours if the training has been approved in advance in writing by the employee’s supervisor and an appropriate Senior Management member.
TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
It is the policy of CFC to encourage employees to continue their education by taking job-related courses at a recognized and/or accredited trade school, college, or university. All regular, full-time employees of CFC qualify for tuition consideration.
Course approval will be based on those degreed programs of courses directly related to the employee’s present job. Degreed programs of study related to future work to which the employee may reasonably be assigned or promoted may also be approved. The employee’s immediate supervisor makes the initial decision on the relationship of the course to the employee’s job; however, final approval rests with the appropriate Senior Management member. Approval for reimbursement must be obtained prior to beginning the course.
Following completion of the course(s), the employee must submit proof of successful completion and receipts for tuition, fees and the books required for the course(s). Following all approvals the employee will be given a check issued in the employee’s name covering 100% of the cost of tuition and books, not to exceed $1,500.00 annually on the fiscal year calendar (October-September), if the employee receives a grade of “B” or above, or 50% of the cost of tuition and books if the employee receives a grade of “C.” Please note that it may take between 2-4 weeks to process the reimbursement. CFC will not reimburse for any costs underwritten through scholarships or other benefits.
