Creates online job portal for behavioral health care workers and online internship and externship portal for health care students.
This bill creates two online portals managed by New Jersey's Department of Health: one for employers to post job openings for behavioral health care workers (treating mental illness, emotional disorders, or substance use), and another for employers to list internship/externship opportunities that provide academic credit for health care students. The portals will allow New Jersey employers to connect with behavioral health workers and students training to become licensed health care professionals. The Department of Health may contract with third parties to develop and run these platforms, and the portals will take effect immediately. The bill directly affects healthcare employers, behavioral health workers, and students in health care training programs across the state.
