DOH CHW Training Program – Charging Fees for Training Participants

DOH CHW Training Program has been providing both Core Competency and Health Specific Trainings since 2012. The program has trained over 2200 CHWs and related professionals and demand continues to be high for both Core Classes and our growing number of On-LineHealth Specific Modules. The program is primarily grant funded with support from both federal and state funds. This creates too many uncertainties regarding program sustainability, strategic planning and stakeholder engagement needs. Charging fees for training participants is an option. Broad factors for consideration are: What are our current and future CHW Training Program Costs? How do we establish the value of DOH CHW training? As a state agency program, how would we collect fees?
