Workforce development

Our workforce development efforts are focused on strengthening a thriving, culturally rooted Indigenous public health workforce. We invest in building the capacity of individuals and systems to support Native professionals, paraprofessionals, and community-based workers in leading and delivering high-quality, culturally grounded care.

This includes supporting the training, advancement, and integration of Community Health Aides (CHA), Behavioral Health Aides (BHA), Community Health Representatives (CHR) and other frontline providers who serve as trusted healers and connectors within their communities.
