Summary

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) will train 75 community health workers with a $375,000 grant from the Arkansas Office of Skills Development. This initiative aims to enhance the community health workforce in rural areas of Arkansas, following the recent establishment of the Community Health Worker Act, which allows CHWs to receive compensation for their services.

Why this matters for apprenticeships

This initiative highlights the importance of community health workers in improving healthcare access, particularly in underserved rural areas. By investing in training programs and establishing formal roles for CHWs, the program demonstrates a commitment to enhancing workforce readiness and supporting health equity through registered apprenticeship pathways.
