A Qualified Treatment Trainee (QTT) is someone with a master\u2019s degree in social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy who seeks to obtain a professional license, that is, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Professional Counselor, or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In order to fulfill licensure requirements, QTTs must complete direct service hours under the guidance of a clinical supervisor. Recognizing the need for workforce investment, the QTT Grants Program began with Wisconsin\u2019s 2020-2021 biennial budget (Wisc. Stat. \u00a7 146.618), which provided funding for eligible behavioral health agencies to expand and support QTTs statewide. The QTT Grants Program is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Milwaukee, with guidance from the QTT Grants Program Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One grant program is accepting applications for Fall 2026:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Expanding Agency Grant Awards<\/strong> &#8211; Expand existing QTT positions and engage in supervisor development; Please note in FY26 Expanding Agency Awards will not be differentiated between new agencies and returning agencies (previously Continuing Expanding Agency Awards).
