Directs DOLWD to establish advertising campaign to attract candidates to health care professions; appropriates $1 million.
This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to create a multimedia advertising campaign promoting healthcare careers as engaging and rewarding, while highlighting available scholarships and financial support. The campaign must target underrepresented racial groups and high-demand healthcare fields, using digital, TV, radio, and print media. It appropriates $1 million from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to cover the campaign's costs, with the DOLWD working alongside the Departments of Health and Human Services. The goal is to address healthcare workforce shortages, particularly those exacerbated during the pandemic.
