Guest Speaker Events

The WF Healthcare Industry Partnership hosts guest speakers from local educational institutions, community organizations, executive leadership, and even partners themselves to create engaging convenings.

Without open, honest discussion about the healthcare industry’s critical issues, solutions are not possible. This is why the WF Healthcare Industry Partnership incorporates open discussions at each convening.

Relevant Workshops

The WF Healthcare Industry Partnership provides workshop opportunities related to professional development, leadership, and more to meet the needs of its employer partners.

Information Sharing

Convening partners from various sectors of the community including workforce development, economic development, education, and more ensures WF Healthcare Industry Partnership partners are aware of the resources and opportunities available to them.

Cross-sector Networking

Each convening welcomes representatives from education, economic development, local government, workforce development, and community service, allowing for cross-sector networking.

Options for those looking to upskill and are already in the healthcare industry:

• Incumbent Worker Training: Helps employers upgrade the skills of their current workforce to support new technology, operations, retooling, service lines, products, and more.
• Customized Training: Meets the needs of employers by letting them have control over who will provide training to their current workforce, the curriculum that is used, and which employees will receive training.

Options for those looking to the healthcare industry or grow their workforce:

• On-the-Job Training: Helps employers train workers in specific skills they need for full performance on the job by offering reimbursements for a portion of OJT participants’ wages.
• Individual Training Accounts: Connects job seekers to training in wide variety of state-approved training providers while also offering career guidance, tuition assistance, connections with local employers, aligned education, and job placement assistance
