Grant Overview
Collaborative Ecosystem for Health Careers in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's healthcare sector is facing an urgent workforce shortage, with the demand for qualified healthcare professionals outpacing supply. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services reports that, by 2030, the state will need an additional 20,000 healthcare workers across various disciplines. This represents a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas where access to healthcare services is already limited.
Healthcare career aspirants in New Hampshire, especially from diverse backgrounds, often encounter barriers that hinder their ability to enter this workforce. Educational institutions frequently lack the resources to provide comprehensive healthcare education programs, resulting in fewer qualified candidates. Moreover, students in underserved areas may not have access to mentorship or practical experience within the field, further decreasing their chances of successful career entry.
The funding initiative aims to build a collaborative ecosystem for health careers in New Hampshire by engaging educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and community groups. By creating coordinated pathways and support systems, this project seeks to address workforce shortages while providing equitable training opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds. This systemic approach prioritizes the development of a workforce that is adequately prepared to meet the health needs of New Hampshire residents.
Eligible organizations can apply for funding that ranges from $10,000 to over $1,000,000, enabling flexibility in developing programs tailored to the unique challenges of their surrounding communities. The funding can facilitate partnerships that enhance educational offerings, improve access to training, and provide practical experiences that align with the needs of local healthcare providers. This comprehensive strategy not only addresses immediate workforce shortages but also establishes a sustainable foundation for future growth in New Hampshire’s healthcare sector.
By promoting pathways into healthcare careers, the initiative can significantly impact population health outcomes throughout New Hampshire, ensuring that residents receive the care they need. This alignment of educational opportunities with workforce requirements positions New Hampshire to successfully address its healthcare challenges while creating inclusive opportunities for all aspiring health professionals.
