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.
