Community Health Worker jobs are growing in number, complexity and importance…
At 22,053,900 projected workers in 2020, the healthcare industry makes up the largest segment of the United States’ economy. Not just doctors and nurses, the healthcare industry also broadly encompasses the nonclinical, community and social service, and support positions that comprise 42% of the healthcare workforce.
The community health worker has taken on new importance as hospitals look to extend themselves and bring healthcare services to patients where they live. Among the occupations with the largest percentage increases across the country, office workers such as medical office specialists, office supervisors, and medical records technicians have seen their positions adapt and grow. And, a new position, often referred to as patient navigator or patient representative, has been created to facilitate smooth coordination of health services for patients.

The Northeast Resiliency Consortium
September 26, 2013
Kingsborough Community College (KCC) has just been awarded a $3.8 million Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (DOL TAACCCT) grant. The TAACCCT program, administered by the US Department of Labor in collaboration with the US Department of Education, is a multi-year initiative seeking to expand training programs for workers impacted by foreign trade and other under- and unemployed workers. Round 1 funding, awarded in September 2011, supports CUNY CareerPATH, a highly successful program led by KCC and the CUNY Central Office that prepares people for employment and college through credit bearing occupational training. Round 3 will fund the Northeast Resiliency Consortium, a regional collaboration led by Passaic County Community College.
The Northeast Resiliency Consortium (NRC), a collaboration of seven east coast colleges—Atlantic Cape (NJ), Bunker Hill (MA), Capital (CT), Housatonic (MA), Kingsborough (NY), LaGuardia (NY) and lead, Passaic County (NJ) Community Colleges—in partnership with Achieving the Dream and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, will train a highly skilled and resilient workforce that is prepared to mitigate the short- and long-term vulnerabilities and risks resulting from disasters and crises. The institutions that make up this consortium bring with them experiences responding to and recovering from recent disasters including Superstorm Sandy, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the Boston Marathon bombings.
