The Healthcare Workforce Training Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. In order for the Institute to advance its mission, it is imperative to hire more instructors and expand class offerings. Furthermore, class fees are sometimes a deterrent for those wishing to take a class. Your financial donation will make a lasting impact in the lives of so many - our students and those in need of their care.
