The healthcare industry is one of the largest employers in our region and offers a wide variety of careers. To inform and empower current and potential job seekers to enter the growing healthcare industry, Health Careers Futures (HCF) created the Health Careers Toolkit (Toolkit).

The Toolkit focuses on diverse, high-demand fields that require a broad range of interest and skills. The Toolkit provides easy-to-use information on career awareness, literacy, and job preparedness both in hard copy and electronically.

This information includes:

• practical and personal testimonials on the day-to-day work in those careers
• maps of career pathways, training requirements and opportunities for advancement
• highlights on how to pursue such careers, including directories of local training, job placement and healthcare employers

Toolkit Technical Assistance Managers work with key staff of high schools, legislative offices, job placement facilities, training providers, and employers to coordinate training in and distribution of Toolkits. Managers also provide ongoing assistance with Toolkit use.

Resulting relationships build strong partnerships with local public and private organizations throughout the region's workforce development system and foster an integration of Toolkit information into existing education and career awareness initiatives.

This project is supported by the Department of Labor and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation.
