<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is to make you aware of an upcoming funding opportunity and informational webinar about Hospital Employee Education and Training (HEET) Program funds for FY23 and to encourage you to attend the
<b>HEET Partner Panel/Application Webinar </b>on <b>March 3<sup>rd</sup></b>. This year’s application includes several small but important changes, and we encourage your attendance, even if you have prior experience with the HEET grant.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-variant:small-caps">What are Hospital Employee Education and Training Program Funds?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A total of $1,997,232 is available for FY23 HEET projects. A multi-stakeholder committee will review proposals and make funding recommendations. Funding will not exceed $250,000 per proposal. A project that includes more than one community
or technical college and more than one employer partner (in addition to one labor-management partnership) may apply for funding in excess of $250,000.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">HEET funding is designated for development or expansion of innovative training programs in partnership with labor and employers that support incumbent healthcare workers to advance their careers in the healthcare field while meeting the
rapidly changing workforce needs of our healthcare system. Projects must address one or more of the following:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To aid you in development of competitive proposals, we are excited to host a panel representing employers, labor, and employee participants. This is an opportunity for colleges to engage with industry partners and hear about their interests
and priorities in developing a skilled diverse workforce and alignment of training with industry needs and recruitment efforts of incumbent healthcare workers. There will be time set aside for Q&A with the panelists.
