Federal grant will support ongoing workforce development and training efforts at CVMC
Vermont Business Magazine
Training programs crucial to workforce development efforts and needs at UVM Health Network – Central Vermont Medical Center will soon be expanding following approval of a $735,000 federal grant. Vermont Senator Peter Welch helped secure the funding last year as a then-member of the U.S. House of Representatives through Congressionally Directed Spending.
The funding will address a significant barrier to growth of existing workforce development programs at CVMC – the ability to provide dedicated space and resources.
“The Central Vermont Medical Center plays an essential role in our economy and health care system by helping to train the next generation of medical professionals,” said Senator Welch. “Through their work, CVMC helps strengthen our health care workforce and keep Vermonters healthy. I am proud to have secured additional federal funds to help CVMC grow and provide this essential training for more health care professionals.”
