Community Health Worker Continuing Education Training Site

  • Purpose: For CHWs, maintaining their certification is pivotal. However, data from the Dallas-Fort Worth area indicates that continuing education is the most significant hurdle in the CHW recertification process.
  • Offerings: The UNT College of Health & Public Service steps in by providing free Continuing Education Units (CEU) modules. These modules serve a dual purpose - they facilitate recertification and foster specialization among CHWs.
  • Advantages for Organizations: This program presents a strategic opportunity for organizations to assess the utility of CHWs within their framework. Furthermore, organizations stand to benefit from tax incentives for hosting apprenticeship sites.
  • Provisions for Apprentices: Apprentices are endowed with supervision, guided trainings, and a non-wage stipend amounting to $7,500.
