Opportunity Task Force
The East Bay relies on a large health care workforce. Join the Opportunity Task Force as we learn about Futuro Health, a nonprofit committed to creating education journeys into allied health careers by growing the talent that employers need and creating a path to opportunity that workers want. Futuro Health’s goal is to graduate 10,000 new licensed and/or credentialed allied healthcare workers by 2024 to meet the growing need. Allied health careers include pharmacy technicians, medical assistants, and patient care representatives.
