The Healthcare Skills Alliance is committed to assisting the healthcare industry in Northwest Michigan to develop a credentialed, sustainable, qualified workforce in long-term care, nursing, and allied health. The Healthcare Skills Alliance is an established (2004) partnership of healthcare employers, educators, and workforce development organizations who are committed to enhancing capacity and increasing the quality of training and education in healthcare for job seekers and low-wage workers.
The Healthcare Career Pathway offers a variety of training and education in the region's top high-growth, high-demand labor market. Dislocated and low-wage workers enter and move through the career pathway to obtain employment while those working are able to move through the Career Pathway to increase high-need competencies, which improve job retention.
The Healthcare Career Pathway is the foundation of the Healthcare Skills Alliance's Certified Nurse Aide USDOL Registered Apprenticeship Program.

Funding for Healthcare RSA
In 2007, the RSA was one of only six organizations in the nation to be awarded $500,000 for three years from the US Department of Labor's High Growth Jobs Training Initiative (HGJTI) to implement a Direct Care Worker Career Pathway. This project specifically focuses on long-term care and will be operated under the umbrella of the Healthcare RSA. The Healthcare RSA also received an expansion grant award of $100,000 from the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth (DELEG).
