Who We Are
The Brevard Healthcare Workforce Consortium is working to ensure that local healthcare industry employers have the skilled talent needed to provide the best possible healthcare for our local community. This is vital to the economy of Brevard County. Working within our community to establish and maintain talent pipelines that train local talent in healthcare-related competencies provides employment opportunities with sustainable wages or career ladders to self-sustaining wages for local workers and their families. OVERVIEW
Having a robust, quality healthcare system within Brevard County is vital for attracting new businesses as well as retaining existing companies as access to quality care is a major factor in business location. It is in everyone’s best interest who lives and works in Brevard County to ensure that local healthcare industry organizations thrive. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
