| Event: | Washington Employers' Current and Expected Demand for 5 Health Care Occupations |
| Location: | CenterPoint, Spokane Valley |
| Time: | 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM |
The Western Washington Area Health Education Center (WWAHEC) is hosting two forums to discuss Washington employers' current and expected demand for five health care occupations: home care aides, medical assistants, certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, and associate degree registered nurses.
This forum is ideal for human resource directors who would like to provide their input on what types of paraprofessionals hospitals need and are expected to need under the Affordable Care Act. The results of the forum will be combined with other data collected and shared with educators, such as community colleges, and policy makers, so they can better focus their resources for providing education in health care occupations.
The two forums are:
• Eastern Washington: May 30, 2013 - CenterPoint, Spokane Valley, 10am-2pm
• Western Washington: June 3, 2013 - Radisson Hotel, SeaTac, 10am-2pm
For more information and to register, contact Kelly Copp at kelly@wwahec.org, (206) 441-7137
