Strategic Workforce Planning Program - California Primary Care Association

Forecast and plan the workforce your organization will need to succeed in the future. CPCA’s Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) certification program is based on Human Capital Institute’s industry-recognized SWP certification program but tailored to the unique needs of community health centers. The online program is delivered in bite-sized sessions over the course of several months so health center staff have sufficient time to apply what they learn and get feedback from their faculty advisor and peers. Participants can expect to strengthen their network, gain in-depth knowledge on strategic workforce planning, and receive a certificate of completion.
