Initiative TitleOffer at least one training program for the Healthcare industry, partnering with them and possibly unions representing their workers.
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Our existing programs, developed in response to training needs expressed by CEOs and HR officers in Healthcare organizations, have been very successful and have resulted in long term relationships with several large organizations in this industry.

Continuing to partner with these organizations gives the college the opportunity to develop new and timely programming for healthcare workers.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

The college is already in partnership with many healthcare organizations through our academic health profession departments. CAPE's offering of additional training and/or certification programs strengthens these partnerships, and offers professional development and advancement potential to healthcare workers. Successful CAPE programs lead to enhanced productivity and profitability for client organizations which in turn benefits the workers, the organization, the industry, the college, and the local economy.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Since CAPE's training programs are developed in collaboration with, and with input from, the employers seeking them, course content is always current and relevant. Often, instructors are professionals from the industry who may be recruited as credit instructors and guest speakers, thus enhancing our credit and non-credit capacity.
Since CAPE's training programs are developed in collaboration with, and with input from, the employers seeking them, course content is always current and relevant.
In the process of developing and implementing training programs in response to local employer needs, CAPE identifies emerging career opportunities that can be shared with Career Services and related academic departments to ensure that our curriculum remains relevant and current.
The academic Health departments, CAPE and their students benefit from collaborations to offer programming to the local healthcare industry. Benefits include maintaining curriculum currency and valuable partnerships with local employers, and being 'in the loop' when it comes to preparing our students for the highly competitive job market. Student employment successes may continue to encourage more interdisciplinary endeavors.
In collaboration with academic departments, CAPE has developed and implemented many valuable training programs for the healthcare industry, such as Assistive Technology with the OTA Dept. and Nuclear Medicine with the Diagnostic Imaging Dept. CAPE will continue to seek such opportunities to offer programs that benefit both departments, participants and employers.
By offering programs in response to training needs in local healthcare organizations, CAPE enhances the college's partnerships that already exist between the academic Health departments and the region's healthcare employers. CAPE will assist healthcare employees (some of whom are our graduates) in keeping their licensure current and their skills sharp. This allows them and their employers to remain competitive.
Partnering with healthcare employers and possibly their unions would enable CAPE and the college's academic Health departments to be 'in the loop' regarding education and training needs in their industry. This would enable the college to be a valuable partner in the region's economic and workforce development.
By offering relevant and current education and training to the healthcare industry, one of the region's largest employers, CAPE helps the college to fulfill our mission: We are a community of learners dedicated to providing high-quality and accessible educational and enrichment opportunities that foster lifelong learning.
By leveraging our partnership with local healthcare employers and their unions, CAPE is able to develop and implement current and relevant training programs with an expanded capacity. Many times, employers help to design and instruct programs that are then made available through CAPE to larger populations than just their own employees.
By working closely with healthcare employers, CAPE can remain current regarding what knowledge and skills are required by the region's largest industry and can share this expertise with academic departments.
As a result of successful partnerships with healthcare employers and unions, word of mouth will gain CAPE and the college additional opportunities to offer education and training to healthcare and other employers in the county. These partnerships will enhance the visibility and image of the college.
In the process of developing and implementing training programs in response to local employer needs, CAPE identifies emerging career opportunities that can be shared with Career Services and related academic departments to ensure that our curriculum remains relevant and current and our students are well prepared with necessary skills and knowledge to be competitive in the job market.
Since CAPE's training programs are developed in collaboration with, and with input from, the employers seeking them, course content is always current and relevant. Often, instructors are professionals from the industry who may be recruited as credit instructors and guest speakers, thus enhancing our credit and non-credit capacity.
