Core WIC Training

We’re not currently scheduling for Core WIC Training. However, we’re working hard to consider your training needs.

We know new staff are joining the Washington WIC team and need training on our current policies and computer system, Cascades.

We developed the Core WIC training materials posted below to help you train staff in your clinic. We listed materials according to the Core WIC training agenda, however, staff can complete them in any order.

View the Cascades Software and Policy Training for Local WIC Staff document (PDF), which lists of all the Computer Based Trainings (CBTs), Cascades Training Supplements (CTS) and relevant policy trainings which align with the Cascades system.

If you have questions about these materials, please contact us at WAWICtraining@doh.wa.gov or 1-800-841-1410 ext. 0 and ask to speak to a clinic training team representative.
