Finding and retaining qualified care coordinators is a challenge—but it doesn’t have to be. Through a Registered Apprenticeship Program, your organization can develop a highly trained workforce while benefiting from financial incentives and improved employee retention.
Apprenticeships provide structured, hands-on training tailored to your needs, ensuring that new and existing employees gain the skills necessary to navigate complex healthcare systems and deliver high-quality care. With support from SUNY and New York State, you can access funding and tax credits to make this a cost-effective
investment in your team’s future.
“The apprenticeship program has been a game-changer for health care employers. It helps them train and retain skilled workers who are dedicated to their mission."
