| This month, the White House announced the Obama Administration’s launch of the Health Career Pathways initiative in partnership with Hope Street Group and the Advisory Board as part of the President’s broader agenda to create pathways to the middle-class and invest in job-driven training.
Corporation for a Skilled Workforce, along with Goodwill International Industries, National Association of Workforce Boards, Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and Office of Community College Research & Leadership will support Hope Street Group in managing these pilots. Health Career Pathways will launch in seven regions: Sacramento, CA, Charlotte, NC, Denver, CO, Grand Rapids and Muskegon, MI, Minneapolis, MN, Bronx, Westchester and Hudson Valley, NY and New York, NY. |
Healthcare is currently the largest employment sector with more than one million job openings and counting. Health Career Pathways, the first pilot program under the Sync Our Signals initiative, is a collaborative community effort designed to build talent for entry-level and middle-skill careers in healthcare. By bringing together healthcare providers, local workforce and economic development organizations, community colleges and community-based organizations, this initiative will develop and validate competency models and career pathways so that individuals can earn family-sustaining wages.
