10/21/2015, PHILADELPHIA : Comcast’s Eric Hofmann — Vice President, Comcast University Operations and Innovation — joined the Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Partnership today for a discussion of the past, present and future of classroom education for students and workers. Mr. Hofmann’s presentation offered many attendees a glimpse into what that future could look like, from the viewpoint of one of America’s leading technology and telecommunications organizations.
As usual, the meeting opened with IP Director Susan B. Thomas’s review of Partnership achievements in training, fundraising and other activities. Through the first quarter of the 2015-16 IP cycle, GPHP has successfully registered 93 training participations. Many more are scheduled in the upcoming weeks and months, and GPHP’s annual Employer Training Needs Analysis survey will be distributed in November. IP Director Thomas also highlighted the upcoming conclusion to GPHP’s first four-year federal H-1B on-the-job training grant, and early successes in placing long-term un– and under-employed workers in healthcare OJT opportunities through a second federal H-1B grant ramping up now.
The Partnership will meet next at 8:30 AM on January 21st, 2016 at the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund’s Breslin Learning Center (10th floor of the Land Title Building, at 100 South Broad Street). January’s meeting will focus on the multilingual healthcare workforce.
