🚧 “When we remove barriers and open up access, we have a better chance of inviting more folks in…We have the opportunity to allow communities to be healed by their own community members.” - Melody McKee, Director of Behavioral Health Strategy at the Healthcare Training Fund and Apprenticeship College of Health (ACH) leader. 🚧

The need for healthcare professionals is rising. ACH helps working adults prepare for these in-demand roles through Apprenticeship Degree pathways -- removing the forced choice between a job and a degree.

Meet the team behind the Apprenticeship College of Health! ☕️🤝

Last week, functional and executive leaders from Reach University and the Healthcare Training Fund convened in Seattle, Washington, to further advance the Apprenticeship College of Health (ACH).

The teams spent time developing a shared vision for the next phase of growth and expansion, setting priorities and strengthening the collaboration needed to build practical pathways into behavioral health careers in Washington state and beyond.

Last week's work reinforced a defining principle of ACH: lasting innovation is built through strong partnerships, shared purpose, and the discipline to build together.
