Promoting Health Careers in Community and Technical Colleges Act

This bill requires community colleges receiving federal grants for health professions training programs to ensure participants earn industry-recognized certifications or credentials. It directly affects community and technical colleges participating in the Health Professions Opportunity Grant program by mandating they prepare students for specific, recognized workforce certifications. The bill amends existing law to add this credential requirement for grantees and adjusts eligibility rules to include additional college program types. The changes take effect October 1, 2023.
