We have been building strong relationships with the provider community that distinguish us from others. These partnerships are crucial in making a positive impact on local workforce and development, and also addressing the unique challenges specific to Rhode Island. We continue to be committed in working with our local partners working in various fields. Our new training program will allow us to continue to collaborate with local providers and community members, support workforce retention, and assist with recruitment and on-boarding at many of the local agencies. We offer a multitude of continuing education units (designed for) social workers, chemical dependency and mental health counselors.
