The District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund has received a $4 million H-1B Ready to Work Partnership grant from the US Department of Labor. This grant, which will be administered by the Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Partnership, extends our current federal H-1B On-the-Job training (OJT) program for Nursing and Health Information workers, and allows us to include new occupations in the project, including Health Information Data Analyst and Community Health Worker (CHW). The new grant also includes start-up support for Registered Apprenticeships.

On October 23, 2014, as a result of this award and our current OJT work, representatives of the Fund, our union affiliate and our employer partners had the honor of meeting with US Secretary of Labor Tom Perez. Secretary Perez invited us to join him in a roundtable discussion with two other projects, so he could learn more about efforts to hire and train the long-term unemployed in both our current project and the new grant, including our plans to implement Apprenticeships.
