Hospital Employee Education and Training (HEET)
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) invites Washington’s community and technical colleges to apply for Hospital Employee Education and Training (HEET) grant funding (see attached application guidelines). These grants are to build innovative programs that enhance the accessibility of college education for hospital workers; lead to increased capacity of the college system in nursing and other high demand health care fields; and bring greater diversity to the health care workforce.
Funding available for 2011-12 totals $2,010,897. SBCTC will fund proposals at a maximum of $250,000 per proposal. A proposal that includes more than one community or technical college, more than one employer partner (in addition to one labor-management partnership), and is multi-regional may apply for projects in excess of $250,000. In all cases, a single community or technical college must be designated as the fiscal agent for the grant. Funding becomes available July 1, 2011, and expires June 30, 2012.
Funds may be spent on: curriculum development/modification; equipment needed to train incumbent workers; creation of a system to grant credit for prior learning; sustaining the labor, management, college partnership: support for students; program recruitment and retention; symposium to share/learn best practices in teaching methodologies and curricula; and evaluation.
