Building Robust and Equitable Pathways

The National Consortium for Public Health Workforce Development’s first Working Group is focused on what needs to be done to recruit and retain a diverse, skilled workforce that is well-prepared to achieve health equity in their communities.
Collectively, we want to see a broader interest in public health as a career; a more diverse, knowledgeable, well-trained, and skilled pool of candidates; more effective recruitment in ALL communities, regardless of geography or population, and — ultimately — a more diverse public health workforce — at all levels and in all communities — across the country.

“I joined the National Consortium because I am supportive of strengthening our nation's public health workforce. COVID-19 has taken a severe toll on our public health workforce, so it's even more important than ever that we come together on this important topic.”

— Kaye Bender, American Public Health Association

“To address workforce issues, we need to work together. The National Consortium is serving to bring together representatives from a range of organizations and agencies committed to addressing the needs of the public health workforce.”

— Rita Kelliher, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health

“I hope the National Consortium will mobilize practitioners and policy makers to support and invest in workforce development across staff/levels in governmental public health agencies.”

— Monica Valdes Lupi, Kresge Foundation
