NJ FDC - Family Development Credential Program

In New Jersey

The FDC trainings funded by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Family Development are provided for Abbott district family workers. These individuals serve as liaisons between preschool programs and the families that they serve in the thirty-one low income communities collectively referred to as Abbott districts.

The Family Development Credential program offers quality, sequential training designed to provide family workers with baseline competencies and skills needed to empower families to attain a healthy self-reliance and interdependence with their communities. In addition, the FDC credential granted by Rutgers University reflects a standard of excellence recognized by major family-serving agencies and has been approved by the National Program on Non-collegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI) for seven-college credit recommendation.
