Purpose

The Rural Community Health Center Apprenticeship Grant is offering funding to support the rural primary care workforce in Minnesota by establishing new Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) registered apprenticeship programs or funding costs of existing FQHC registered apprenticeship programs in rural parts of the state.

The expected program outcome is increased primary care workforce in greater Minnesota, as measured by the number of participants in rural FQHC registered apprenticeship programs. Examples of registered apprenticeship programs include, but are not limited to, programs training medical assistants and dental assistants. Programs must recruit apprentices from FQHC staff and the population in the geographic area served by the FQHC.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants include Federally Qualified Health Centers and nonprofit associations of community health centers that are operating registered apprenticeship programs at FQHCs located in rural Minnesota outside of the Twin Cities 7 county metro area. Applicants who are not FQHCs are required to collaborate with FQHCs located in rural Minnesota.
