<br /> Participants for Apprenticeship and Affiliated Training Program
<br /> employers who can provide the setting of proper procedures as well as provide examples of real world
<br /> precautions and ways to minimize the potential for disease and/or injury.
<br />
<br /> The increasing cultural diversity within the healthcare workforce, as well as patients, requires recognition of
<br /> the unique differences and commonalities each person brings to the work environment. The healthcare
<br /> workforce in America and California is comprised of individuals of various educational levels; with a value
<br /> set that may be limited by culture, race, religion, or gender. Although reflective of society, the inherent
<br /> scope of issues behooves not only employers, but educators as well. In addition, we will be using union
<br /> members to conduct Job Shadowing/Coaching during participant's OJT phase, and assign a Mentor for
<br /> support and tutoring assistance from the following participating unions: SEIU, CNA, and Union Nurses
<br /> Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professional (UNAC).
