Partnerships

As part of the School of Social Work in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota, CPT brings academic excellence to bear on the CE opportunities it develops and disseminates. This symbiotic relationship aligns with the University’s Land Grant mission and provides CPT with access to an environment overflowing with resources and community connections. CPT bridges those resources and relationships by combining community engagement with academic research, returning to the community a product that reflects state-of-the-art information and is grounded in the realities of real-world practice.
