This grant of $59,917 will allow Worcester State to partner with UMass Memorial Medical Center and the State Healthcare and Research Employee’s Union, to provide educational on-site courses to direct-care workers to enable them to pursue higher educational degrees.

A career pathway will be created that facilitates the direct-care workers with pre-college support and credits to attain college-level certificates and degrees.
