Popis: The lack of practitioners who are trained in the group work method has a negative impact on the: development of new group services, quality of group work and the education of students. Inservice training for professional staff can help to reduce these problems. The paper describes a model for inservice training which the author has developed and implemented to train agency practitioners. The model consists of four stages. Marketing strategies to recruit agencies make up the first stage. The second stage is devoted to planning activities. The third stage covers the training, and the fourth deals with follow-up steps after the formal training is completed.
