PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Providing ‘industry-specific” training to healthcare providers
Because they are based on the challenges employees face every day, “industry-specific” educational programs achieve greater lasting benefits for employers and employees than general academic programs.

In the Philadelphia region, the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund is one of the leading providers of educational and training programs specifically tailored to employees in the healthcare industry.

Helping employees pursue their education while on the job
Juggling full-time jobs and family responsibilities can make it challenging for many adults to re-enter the classroom. The Training Fund helps ease the transition through a range of services:

confidential academic and vocational counseling
academic and career interest assessments
assistance with resume writing
interviewing and job search.

While in the program, participants receive mentoring from Training Fund faculty and staff to encourage, motivate and guide them toward their educational and career goals.
