Percipio: A New Platform for WIC Learning Online

WIC Learning Online (WLOL) is moving to Percipio, a new and improved platform with a modernized look and feel. Prior to this change, coming later this month, we recommend that you: 

• Complete any in-progress courses
• Print or save records you'd like to keep

We look forward to launching this exciting platform where we can continue to add new learning opportunities for WIC staff in the future.

What Do I Do With... Milk?

Milk is a versatile and nutritious food, containing calcium, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients. 

Help participants build and maintain strong bones, and meet their nutritional needs, by sharing tips and recipes using milk.

Make the Most of Farmers' Markets

Farmers' markets are an integral part of communities and their food systems, economies, and social networks.  

Learn more and locate farmers' markets near you so you can share relevant information with WIC participants just in time for summer.

WIC Breastfeeding Curriculum

The WIC Breastfeeding Curriculum is now available to order as a flash drive from the WIC Works publication ordering page. 

This curriculum (that replaces Grow and Glow and Loving Support through Peer Counseling trainings) provides competency-based training for all levels of WIC staff that provide breastfeeding promotion and support.
