Jobs to Careers

Jobs to Careers: Promoting Work-Based Learning for Quality Care is an initiative that seeks to advance and reward the skill and career development of low-wage incumbent workers providing care and services on the front lines of our health and health care systems. The project is a $15.8 million national initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in collaboration with The Hitachi Foundation and the Department of Labor. It supports partnerships of employers, educational institutions, and other organizations to expand and redesign systems to create lasting improvements in the way that institutions train and advance their frontline workers and test new models of education and training that incorporate work-based learning. Jobs for the Future (JFF), in Boston, serves as the National Program Office for Jobs to Careers: Promoting Work-Based Learning for Quality Care.
