  • The training videos are an integral part of the workforce driven initiative to improve services for children and families, and support provider recruitment and retention
  • The four training videos are required statewide for all service coordinators and providers working with or for an EI Broker 
  • The 10 minute Welcome to TEAM EI Colorado training video is required for every EI professional working for an EI Broker (for example: Referral and Intake, Billing, Data, Support Staff, etc.) 

  The four recordings will be available for viewing by October 1, 2024.
