Abstract
The Health Professions Pathways (H2P) Consortium consists of nine community colleges in five states and is led by Cincinnati State Technical and Community College (OH). H2P was founded in October 2011 with an award of a $19.6 million U.S. Department of Labor TAACCCT grant. H2P, in partnership with the National Network of Healthcare Programs in Two-Year Colleges (NN2) and other national partners, has engaged and continues to grow partnerships at state and national levels among education and industry groups, employers, technical assistance providers, various accrediting bodies, and more. Scaling of successful strategies and best practices learned are integrated into the design of the H2P model. H2P is particularly designed for displaced workers, veterans, and low skilled individuals. One of the key strategies of the consortium is to form effective partnerships to assure that the education process is purposefully integrated with the job requirements. H2P was recognized bit he Clinton Global Initiative in 2013 as an example of a best practice in "Career Pathway Implementation with Employer Support." Marianne Krismer, national director, Health Professions Pathway Consortium, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, presented information about the strategies H2P used to create these effective partnership to career coaches working on the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online project at the CHEO Career Coaches Professional Development Workshop - Hitting the Mark: Employer & Workforce Engagement, Student Recruitment, and Job Placement on March 5, 2015. The event was hosted by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) and was held at its SHEPC Learning Center in Boulder, CO. The CHEO project is funded by a U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant.
