(a) The two centers selected pursuant to Section 18277 shall develop training programs pertaining to the prevention of and assistance to victims of child sexual abuse and their families. These programs shall be designed for the training of interagency teams of service providers and individual service providers throughout the state, including public and private personnel, who shall in turn offer that training in their communities.
(b) The department shall enter into contracts with each center providing for training and allocating training positions to each center as funds are available to pay for the tuition of individuals who attend the training programs. The contracts shall provide the same amount of funding for each center.
(c) Subject to the review of the department, the centers shall select trainees based upon the following criteria:
(1) In the first year, a minimum of ten individuals from each county shall be chosen.
(2) In subsequent years, a minimum of one-fourth of all positions shall be allocated to rural counties.
(3) When possible, distribution shall be based on the relative population of the counties in which the participants provide services.
(4) The rate of demand for services by child sexual abuse victims and their families in the county.
(5) An emphasis shall be placed on the training of teams of service providers from a geographic area, rather than on training individual service providers.
(6) The ability of the individuals chosen to duplicate the training in his or her geographic area.
(7) The ability of the individuals to apply the training as a direct service provider.
(8) A geographic dispersion of trainees throughout a county is preferred, where feasible.
