Request for Information - Direct Care Workforce Initiative

As the Workforce Development Board for the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, Partner4Work is committed to supporting local employers in recruiting, training, and retaining talent while connecting workers with good jobs. This Request for Information (“RFI”) will focus on the Direct Care Workforce, which includes home health aides, personal care aides, and similar roles.  Partner4Work seeks to collaborate closely with selected employers to strengthen the pipeline into these roles and stabilize the workforce by developing career pathways and implementing retention strategies that improve job quality. 

Planning grants under this RFI will support the co-development of a tailored workforce strategy, in partnership with Partner4work, for each selected employer, including a retention and job quality improvement plan for direct care workers.  Planning grant recipients who successfully complete this phase will be invited to apply for an implementation grant. Organizations participating in the CHC PAC Learning Collaborative will be given bonus points on their application. 

Deadline: Rolling through December 31, 2024.
