Community Resource Project offers nutrition training to paraprofessionals in the Greater Sacramento area.  The Regional Paraprofessional Training Center (RPTC), led by two of CRP Health Division's registered dietitians, offers eight sessions throughout the year.  These sessions are intended as a supplement to WIC Nutrition Assistant training.  Sessions focus on individual populations that WIC serves: Infant Nutrition, Child Nutrition, Nutrition during Pregnancy, Postpartum Nutrition and Nutrition during Lactation as well as Basic Nutrition and Customer Service topics.  Sessions may be taken as a series or stand-alone.

Classes through the RPTC are offered to employees of WIC programs throughout California.  For more information or to register for a session, contact Tiffany Evangelista.  Download the registration form.
