The Hospital Association of Southern California and C3 Skills Alliance – Collaborative for Care Coordination are announcing up to $200,000 in grant funding available to train incumbent nurses, social workers and other staff in care coordination. An additional $200,000 has been allocated to train new workers, from which employers in Los Angeles and Ventura counties only will be able to hire qualified applicants.

The funding has been made available to the C3 Skills Alliance by the California Workforce Development Board to assist industries across the state in maintaining a skilled workforce. As a member of the Alliance, HASC has worked collaboratively with workforce boards, community clinics and post-secondary educators to bring these training resources to the region.

Please download the three documents below and return the Training Interest Form by Friday, March 30. 

• The Training Interest Form will help us determine each of your training needs. 
• A list of the Care Coordination Training Programs gives a summary description of the care coordination training programs available for new and incumbent workers. Trainees have up to 6 months to complete online courses.
• Guidelines for the Employer Contribution for Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) provides guidelines on the use of grant funds to pay for the cost of incumbent worker training. The guidelines include examples for calculating a cash or in-kind match, which, in most cases, will require little or no cost to your company.

Training slots are still available — contact us before the March 30 deadline!

Please contact Lisa Mitchell, HASC’s workforce development program manager (see below), or Cyd Spikes, the C3 Skills Alliance project coordinator (at cydspi@gmail.com), if you have any questions.
