Training network helps pinpoint where healthcare jobs are
State labor officials are trying to help job-seekers find employment in healthcare, long one of New Jersey’s most dynamic generators of new jobs.
The state Department of Labor and Workforce Development is beginning year two of its “talent network” initiative, which seeks to promote economic development in six key sectors, one of which is healthcare. Robert Grimmie, director of the labor department’s Center for Occupational Employment Information, said part of the mission of the state’s Health Care Talent Network, which is based at Rutgers, is to gather real-time intelligence on the specific healthcare jobs in high demand, then get that information out to the unemployed, so they can pursue the education and skills that will land them jobs.
