2019 Workforce Needs Assessment Report - Northwest PTTC Region 10 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  In 2018, the Northwest Prevention Technology Transfer Center (Northwest PTTC) was created to develop and disseminate prevention tools and strategies needed to reduce substance misuse. To determine the greatest training needs of the prevention workforce in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, the Northwest PTTC developed and administered an online workforce needs assessment. From the 2019 Workforce Needs Assessment the Northwest PTTC identified ten key skill competencies for future training topics. The competencies were: Engaging/Collaborating With Under-Represented Populations Cultural Competence Community Or System Change Practices To Understand Issues Related To Mental Health To Understand Shared Risk And Protective Factors Using Risk And Protective Factor Data Program Sustainability Advocating For Prevention And Prevention Funding With Elected Officials To Effectively Communicate About Prevention Understanding Health Disparities And Health Inequities Beyond these training topics, the Needs Assessment also identified static and active online training as the best technology for trainings over in-person meetings. In-person meetings were highly favored as a mode of training but the majority of participants identified barriers to in-person meetings. Additional specific recommendations can be found within the body of the report.
