The Healthcare Career Pathway (HCP) is an innovative partnership that was initially formed to address the critical shortage of healthcare workers in Contra Costa County. HCP offers a unique training program for Certified Nursing Assistants that removes obstacles to success by providing wrap-around support and services. Our goal is to help motivated job seekers graduate with the training, essential skills, and certification needed to become a caregiver the community needs.
The original partnership includes leadership from three organizations in Contra Costa County, California:
Empowered Aging,
Mt. Diablo Adult Education, and
Opportunity Junction and is generously supported by John Muir Community Health Fund. Additional partners include Harder + Co. Community Research, Loaves and Fishes, Contra Costa Food Bank, and various skilled nursing facility leaders.
