Washington County Community College is offering new, exciting programming called Partners in Behavioral Health Pathways. This pathways project is a collaboration of a variety of behavioral health partners here in Washington County, all working together to build workforce in the field. The project built out visual pathways within the behavioral health field and joined multiple training opportunities together in one cohesive menu to provide an easy way for trainees to find opportunities, connect with scholarship and funding assistance, earn college credit, stack multiple credentials, and highlight career opportunities within our partner organizations. Attached is an informational flyer and here is the link to the Partner website. We are really excited about this model and need your assistance in spreading the word about the incredible opportunities. Learners may take one or multiple training opportunities, and many are free or have funding assistance braided into them. Additional training will be added as it becomes available.
