A leader in the field of social services training and organizational development, CDHS has a staff of approximately 120 trainers and senior trainers, each of whom is committed to helping to deliver high-quality, outcome-based training to over 40, 000 participants statewide each year.

In order to meet this demanding workload, our trainers are assisted by a full staff of professional curriculum designers, a publications specialist, graphic designers, multimedia and technology specialists, and evaluation specialists. These experts create innovative, compelling training materials, develop and administer cutting-edge training support systems, develop assessment instruments, and conduct real-time follow-up evaluations. Additional staff provide necessary office support, announce and schedule training deliveries, make travel arrangements for trainees and staff, and ensure that training-related materials are printed, compiled, and shipped in a timely manner.

While the Center’s headquarters are located in Buffalo, a significant number of staff are located at our training locations in Albany, New York City, Syracuse, and Rochester. CDHS Special Projects staff are located off site at various State and local agencies across the state.

As determined by our contractual needs, CDHS periodically has opportunities for high-energy, proactive individuals with a strong desire to strive for excellence in their work. As opportunities arise, they are advertised both in print and on our Web page. Since CDHS does not recruit on a continuous basis, resumes are accepted only when a vacancy exists.
