Background<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]In 2018, IHA was designated as the only statewide Workforce Investment Organization (WIO) by the New York State Department of Health to train, retrain, recruit and retain healthcare workers in the long-term care sector through funds made available by the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT).<\/p>\n

The funding given to IHA WIO was used to design, implement and facilitate a comprehensive online training program and a creative multimedia recruitment campaign. The training program offered free online courses to long-term care workers across the state and allowed long-term care facilities the opportunity to transition to online learning during the first wave of COVID-19. It also provided technology in the form of Google Chromebooks to enable easy access to a virtual learning platform. The recruitment campaign worked to change the perception of the care industry with creative digital, tv, radio and out of home advertisements and encouraged people to apply for jobs in care.

Program Impacts<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]At the end of the four-year funding the IHA WIO program had trained 18,000 long-term care workers and distributed 5,000 Google Chromebooks to help employees access the training. The recruitment campaign has reached over 2 million job seekers across New York State and has won upwards of 10 international awards for creative and effective marketing.<\/p>\n

The initial funding gave IHA WIO the foundation and expertise to produce additional programs, listed above, that aim to strengthen the healthcare workforce across NYS in innovative ways.
