Education and Training Institute
Investing in our employees is good for everyone.
What does “community-based health care” really mean? At the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, we’re committed to high-quality health care for the community, provided by the community. Our recently launched Education and Training Institute is an important and exciting way for us to meet that commitment.
Today, more than half of our employees reside in our service area. We want to increase that amount. The Education and Training Institute establishes career ladders for the health center’s existing and future professionals, managers, and leaders, and provides the education and skill training needed for individual growth and advancement.
By bringing education and training opportunities to the community, we address both sides of a vital employment issue. We provide employees and community members with the education and skills needed to obtain well-paying jobs in health care, which in turn creates a source of qualified employees to meet EBNHC’s staffing requirements. When area residents work within the community, our local economy strengthens too—and the community benefits as a whole.
The education and training of community members is a unique aspect of EBNHC. We know that healthy people are productive people. We know that neighbors who share cultures, concerns, and goals understand one another, and that that understanding reduces barriers to care and opens doors to opportunity. The Education and Training Institute enables us to care for our community on many levels, in many ways.
From entry-level skills to professional development, we’re developing a range of training and advancement courses and seminars in such a way as to recognize the complex lives and needs of community members and entry-level EBNHC employees.
