Training Resources for Clerks & Certifiers in 2009What you can find...Unless otherwise noted, all materials and forms on this page are in PDF format. Core WIC MaterialsCore WIC Pre-Training NotebookTrainees are encouraged to review the following materials and do the activities within each section to help prepare for training.
Core WIC Training NotebookThe focus of Core WIC training is to help staff learn essential WIC functions and procedures. Although training is not being offered until 2010, we are making the training notebook available for in-clinic learning. The notebook has been divided into sections to help staff easily find specific content. The number assigned to each section relates to the sequence of the training provided at the state office. We recommend following the suggested sequence, when possible, to support optimal training. For example, it is better to review the section on “WIC Foods” before completing the section on “Issuing WIC Checks.” The learning objectives and table of contents are provided at the beginning of each section.Note: Activities and hands-on computer tasks used during the classroom training have not been removed from these materials; staff may not be able to perform these activities. This notebook was designed for Washington WIC staff and is not intended for the general public. It contains terms, abbreviations and acronyms that may not be familiar to those outside of WIC and the field of nutrition and healthcare.
PowerPoint PresentationsThese presentations are supplements to their corresponding notebook chapters. If you do not have PowerPoint you can download the free Microsoft Viewer to watch the presentations.
