Tri-C to partner with Cleveland鈥檚 major hospitals on health care training initiative
College to help train workers for entry-level opportunities
水果派AV (Tri-C®) is partnering with Cleveland’s three largest health care systems to train workers for entry-level positions that provide opportunities for advancement while addressing a growing need for health care workers.
Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth and University Hospitals are working with 水果派AV and other community partners on the Workforce Connect Healthcare Sector Partnership (HSP), which is based at Tri-C. Trainees are currently taught in a hybrid virtual/on-site model, with the goal to move completely to in-person classes at Tri-C’s Metropolitan Campus in the near future.
, HSP has "three big priorities: developing ‘clear and actionable career pathways with family-sustaining wages’ for Cuyahoga County jobseekers; improving economic opportunity for those jobseekers; and addressing the ‘critical shortage of entry-level health care talent’ for employers."
One of the first projects is the Health Care Career On-Ramp training program, which connects Cuyahoga County residents — especially those from under-resourced communities with high unemployment — with open positions at the Cleveland Clinic, UH and MetroHealth. The goal is to hire 100 full-time entry-level workers by June 2022, providing sustainable wages, benefits (including tuition assistance) and career advancement opportunities.
