SUMMARY:Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Rehab Act with EARN
DESCRIPTION:The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehab Act) is the first federal legislation to address access and equity for people with disabilities. In addition to helping set the stage for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\, this civil rights law prohibits discrimination based on disability in federal government employment\, among other contexts. To honor the spirit of the Rehab Act\, federal agencies develop and implement affirmative action plans to ensure equal employment opportunities for all workers\, including those with disabilities. \nEARN’s Rehab Act webpage and Section 501 Info Center are also excellent resources for federal agencies to learn more about their responsibilities under this monumental civil rights law. \nEARN_Schedule_A_Resource_Guide_4eb5933282

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Registered Nursing Apprenticeship Program
DESCRIPTION:On July 19\, 2023\, the Department added a crucial new occupation to the list of professions we recognize as apprenticeable: registered nurse (RN). Apprenticeship creates a new pathway to a career as an RN for people who might not be able to stop working to go to college — one that will also help hospitals and other healthcare providers train the nursing workforce they need so desperately. Several SAA states\, including North Carolina\, have already implemented Registered Apprenticeship Programs. In contrast\, many OA states\, including North Dakota\, have developed programs and await Departmental recognition of the occupation. What can we learn from them? \n\nWake Forest Baptist Health launched North Carolina’s first registered nurse Registered Apprenticeship Program\, followed closely by Northern Regional Hospital (NRH)\, which established the state’s first youth RN apprenticeship. Led by NRH’s Vice President of Human Resources (who came out of the manufacturing sector and brought an appreciation for the Registered Apprenticeship model)\, NRH partnered with area high schools so that students can take part in a pre-apprenticeship program leading to CNA certification\, followed by the chance to apply for an RN Registered Apprenticeship. RN Apprentices work part-time at Northern Regional Hospital as CNAs while earning an associate’s degree in nursing from Surry Community College. (State legislation offers a community college tuition waiver for all students signing up as apprentices before graduating high school.) RN Registered Apprenticeship Programs have spread around the state to other hospitals\, assisted living facilities\, and home healthcare agencies. Tiffany Jacobs\, a Regional Coordinator for ApprenticeshipNC\, notes that many community colleges are aware of the benefits of apprenticeship training as the model has expanded. However\, dedicating an apprentice slot in limited-entry programs can be a challenge. Nursing programs are complete\, so some community colleges are willing to designate seats for Registered Apprentices while others are not\, which can cause delays for an apprentice. According to Jacobs\, educating nursing department leaders on the benefits is critical; these include good outcomes for the students and colleges and strong relationships with the healthcare providers employing their (apprentice) students. Partnering a healthcare provider with an experienced peer is particularly helpful.\nNorth Dakota launched its RN apprenticeship program in fall 2022 as a pilot led by Lake Region State College (LRSC) in partnership with three employer partners. It’s the capstone of a nursing Registered Apprenticeship pathway that progresses from certified nursing assistant (CNA) in year 1 to licensed practical nurse (LPN) in year 2 to RN in year 3 (with the opportunity for students to enter at any point along the way). LRSC staff began the process by researching apprenticeship models used in other states\, then brought the research and some initial ideas to the North Dakota State Board of Nursing to ask for their help in creating a high-quality apprenticeship program that would work in the State and ensure the professional integrity of the RN license. LRSC Apprenticeship Coordinator Melana Howe stresses the importance of early involvement and buy-in from the Board of Nursing and anticipating and speaking to the Board’s concerns\, e.g.\, quality and public safety. (Howe is a former RN with decades of nursing experience\, so she brings an understanding of the players\, potential roadblocks\, and complexities of the state licensing process.) Howe also says that it was helpful to build on existing\, approved training components: they used standard RN coursework offered through LRSC and incorporated existing clinical practicum requirements (but with registered apprentices getting paid for practicum hours and 8 to 16 additional hours of work under a mentor per week)\, and leveraged available “rules of delegation” that permit nurses to delegate specific tasks to a CNA or LPN who has mastered the study (which allows the apprentices to progressively learn\, practice\, and demonstrate competencies on the job). LRSC assesses each student for financial aid\, and then employers pay any remaining costs for tuition and books so that apprentices obtain their associate’s degree and RN license at no cost to the student. Getting employer buy-in to the apprenticeship model to grow their workforce was an “easy sell\,” says Howe\, due to the extraordinarily high costs hospitals are paying for traveling nurses when they can’t fill positions.\n\nFor more information on developing an RN Registered Apprenticeship Program\, check out the work process schedules and related instruction outlines available in OA Bulletin No. 2023-111 and the Urban Institute’s Registered Apprenticeship Standards Library. For ideas and resources to grow Registered Apprenticeship Programs in the healthcare sector more broadly\, check out the Apprenticeship in Healthcare resource page. You can watch for OA bulletins posted on Apprenticeship.gov for information on all newly approved occupations.
