Community Health Worker Apprenticeship

About the Program 

ICHCA is a proud sponsor of Idaho State University’s Community Health Worker Apprenticeship Program. If you are currently working as a CHW, are seeking employment as a CHW, or are a community health center that could benefit from CHWs, we invite you to participate in the Idaho CHW Apprenticeship program! 

The CHW Apprenticeship is designed to provide a registered apprenticeship with an employer to ensure competency in CHW roles and responsibilities. Completion of a CHW apprenticeship results in a U.S. Department of Labor credential.

The Core CHW and Advanced CHW Training Courses can be completed before beginning the Apprenticeship or can be completed concurrently. 

   

Audience: This course is designed for employed CHWs and/or those seeking hands-on CHW experience.  

Style: Apprenticeship - part time (20+ hours/week, approximately 2 years) or full time (40 hours/week, approximately 1 year) paid apprenticeship position at an Idaho clinic or community-based organization, for a total of 2000 hours. This is competency based so time to completion will vary based on apprentice and employer. 

Applications: Applications are taken on a rolling basis.
