The newest video from HPOG features HPOG partners in Buffalo, NY that demonstrate the impact thoughtful investment by HPOG instructors has on participant success. HPOG instructors are more than just teachers. They are industry veterans helping students in and out of the classroom by offering additional tutoring, communicating student needs with HPOG case managers, and supporting post-certification education and employment.

This paper offers real data to provide HPOG grantees and other workforce development projects with insight into career pathway strategies that may be overlooked. In particular, it explores a phenomenon referred to as "the benefits cliffs effect." It examines families that encounter benefits cliffs in eight states and describes strategies for working with HPOG participants and other low-income individuals to confront it.

In line with the Vice President's report and WIOA, the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program released a paper, Using Labor Market Information to Design Job-Driven Training Programs (PDF), in December 2014, outlining eight steps to help programs identify, translate, and use data and Labor Market Information (LMI) to inform training program offerings and build strong partnerships with local employers. Understanding and using traditional, real-time, and wage related data to verify employer demand can help ensure programs offer education and training opportunities that are job-driven and will lead to promising career pathways for program participants.

HPOG offered the Webinar, "Using Labor Market Information to Design Job-Driven Training Programs" to present this paper, outline the importance of Labor Market Information, and review in detail the eight components of the tool discussed in the paper. A case study of a hypothetical program was also used as an illustrative example.

Megan Oehlke, Community Action Program (CAP) Tulsa, presented "Reflect - Inspect - Perfect: Empowering Students to Create Successful Training Programs" at the 2013 Annual Grantee Meeting. For more information about Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG), please visit the HPOG website.
