Best Practices in Labor-Management Training Funds for Healthcare Workforce Development

Established in 1969 in New York City, the first healthcare training fund emerged as a hallmark of joint labor-management governance, promoting civil rights and equal opportunities for service and clerical workers. Funded by employers, the program has expanded significantly, now including 250,000 workers across various states. By combining employers, unions, and colleges, the initiative emphasizes customized training, diverse workforce creation, and addressing industry shortages. Through strategic partnerships and effective funding, the program aims to fill skill gaps and provide pathways to sustainable employment.
