Building New Workforce and Community College Pathways in the Dental Industry

About this grant

This grant will continue to support Pew Charitable Trusts to assist community college administrators and state workforce development officials in developing a roadmap for training new and emerging types of dental providers at community colleges and/or other nontraditional settings. In the most recent phase of this project, the grantee formed an advisory group of community college and workforce development stakeholders and produced a report on the need for new dental providers and the role community colleges can play in developing and training them. Recommended support will enable the grantee to develop and advance a communications plan/strategy and provide technical assistance to states that are uniquely positioned to establish new dental provider models.
