Community Health Worker Training Program - Project Abstract Address: Hostos Community College, CUNY Division of Continuing Education & Workforce Development (CEWD) c/o Research Foundation of CUNY 475 Grand Concourse, Room A-339B, Bronx, NY 10451 Project Director Name: Evelyn Fernandez-Ketcham, Ph.D., LCSW, Vice President Contact: Phone: 718-518-6646 Email: efernandez-ketcham@hostos.cuny.edu According to data from EMSI Burning Glass (2022) there were over 1,000 unique job postings for Community Health Workers (CHWs) in New York City over the last decade (January 2010-February 2022). This averages out to around 8 job postings per month. However, the number of Community Health Workers actually hired was much higher than jobs posted, with an average of 185 monthly hires in the same period. The median annual salary listed on job postings for Community Health Worker is $44,4000; however, this is $1,100 below the government recorded median salary for the New York metropolitan area, so job seekers can expect to earn more. In the next decade, it is projected that there will be an increase of 19 percent in the number of jobs available for Community Health Workers with a projection of about 186 monthly hires. By 2025 we aim to recruit up to 360 CHW candidates in order to train and/or upskill 270 (18 cohorts of up to 15 students) Community Health Worker (75% new workers and 25% looking to upskill); of trainees that complete, 203 (75%) will receive a field placement and 51 (25% of the 203) will participate in an apprenticeship program; in addition, we anticipate each year, 18 students will transition/matriculate at Hostos with college credits using Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). The long-term goal is to increase the number of trained/skilled Community Health Workers locally and regionally; and ultimately create an industry “gold standard” training model for CHW. The Hostos Community Health Worker training and registered apprenticeship provides multiple entry and exit points for students to engage with the CHW occupational field: 1) novice workers can use the CHW training to obtain a baseline of knowledge and gain entry into a community health job, where there is opportunity to receive more extensive training through the registered apprenticeship; 2) incumbent workers or workers who have other certifications in the healthcare field can utilize the training to upskill/retool and enter into a higher paying title in the field; 3) workers looking to obtain a college degree can leverage the certificate towards an associate’s degree in community health; and 4) supervisors, or CHWs with several years of experience looking to become supervisors, can take the “train-the-trainer’ course to upskill. Hostos Community College/Continuing Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) is not requesting funding preference. The total funding amount requested is $3,000,000 for three years to expand the Hostos Community Health Worker Training Program.
