This initiative advances the DMH/DD/SUS strategic priority of Workforce Development and Sustainability by equipping providers with practical tools to recruit, train, and retain non-licensed personnel. Through innovative partnerships with community colleges and apprenticeship programs, these workshops create clear career pathways and strengthen the MH/DD/SUS workforce, ensuring long-term capacity to deliver high-quality services across North Carolina.
Learn how apprenticeships can provide hands-on training, career pathways, and long-term retention solutions for your organization. Discover just how simple it is to launch or expand a registered apprenticeship program. These sessions focus on practical strategies for growing and retaining non-licensed personnel which is a critical step in addressing workforce shortages and building sustainable talent pipelines.
Gain fresh ideas for building partnerships with your local Community College—and even with nearby high schools. You’ll have the chance to connect with education partners, apprenticeship experts, and peers who are working to close workforce gaps. Plus, you’ll collaborate on strategies to recruit, train, and retain the next generation of professionals.
