Rodriguez To Hold Healthcare Industry Roundtable April 20th To Create Apprenticeship Programs In The Healthcare Fields
Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez will convene a Healthcare Industry Roundtable on Monday, April 20th, in Sacramento to work with healthcare industry employers, the California Community Colleges (CCC), the California Workforce Investment Board (CalWIB), the Division of Apprenticeship Standards at the California Department of Industrial Relations, and the Healthcare Workforce Development Program (HCWDP) and discuss the challenges and opportunities to train more workers in the healthcare field.
“Currently, California does not have sufficient capacity in many key professions and regions to meet current and future health workforce needs. And, with the record number of Californians now having access to health insurance, the need will continue to grow,” said Assemblymember Rodriguez. “We must work together to increase the number of healthcare industry employers that offer apprenticeship programs to train more workers with the skills and knowledge to fill this gap.”
