Healthcare Training
STRIVE has collaborated with various organizations and companies in the Flint and surrounding areas to train, entry-level, and incumbent staff members. This new component is a great investment in the success of tomorrow’s health care work force.
As we proceed into the new millennium, it has become increasingly obvious that certain job readiness skills are necessary in order to sustain a career in the ever-changing health care industry.
The goal of this project is to assist residents from the Renewal community in developing professional attitudes, attributes, and behaviors that ensure employment acquisition, retention, and career advancement in the health care industry. It is a workforce development program for individuals from the Renewal community of Flint, Michigan.
