[BLC] FW: AVAILABLE NOW - Hospital Employee Education & Training Fund Program FY26 Funds

[Kendrick Hang]

Originally sent to the WEC mailing list by my colleague, I’m resharing to BLC mailing list as I know we do have quite a concentration of healthcare programs in the baccalaureate space where this may be of interest. Thanks for your help to send/forward this to the folks at your colleges working in programs that are preparing students for careers in hospitals and/or outpatient healthcare facilities.

Dear colleagues,



The FY26 Hospital Employee Education & Training (HEET)<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/grants/hospital-employee-education-training> program application has been released today, 2/13/2025, in the Online Grant Management System<https://ogms.sbctc.edu/> (OGMS). Please see your campus OGMS security contact for access to the FY26 application. Your OGMS security contact<https://ogms.sbctc.edu/SecurityContacts.aspx> must give you access to each grant application each year. When you log into OGMS, be sure to navigate to the FY26 screen to find the correct application.



What are Hospital Employee Education and Training Program Funds?

HEET funding is designated for the development or expansion of innovative training programs in partnership with labor unions and healthcare 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:



  *   Enhanced accessibility and academic progression for hospital and outpatient healthcare workers through college healthcare pre-requisite courses and certificate/degree programs
  *   Address an industry shortage or other pressing workforce need in the healthcare industry

  *   Lead to increased capacity of the college system in nursing and other high-demand healthcare fields

  *   Bring greater diversity to the healthcare workforce

  *   Build a stronger labor/management/education healthcare partnership in order to leverage public and private investment



A total of $1,997,232 is available for FY26 HEET projects pending passage of the 2025-27 Biennial State Budget.



Together, projects funded in this cycle must lead to the creation of 50 annualized state-funded FTES.



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.
