Behavioral Health Workforce - Find Jobs and Training

OCMH is launching a pilot Behavioral Health Community Health Worker (BH-CHW) apprenticeship in early 2025.

Developed in collaboration with CUNY, Hostos Community College, the Healthcare Career Advancement Program, and nonprofit health and human service organizations, this will be the first nationally recognized apprenticeship of its kind. The apprenticeship will engage students in continuing education courses with CUNY Hostos and in work-based learning with the CUNY CARES (Comprehensive Access to Resources for Essential Services) initiative and additional non-profit employer partners across NYC's five boroughs.
