The CHWTPT has currently paused enrollment of new trainees. We hope to re-open enrollment soon. In the meantime, you can watch the program orientation video to learn more about the details of the program.
The orientation video contains details about how the stipends work. In brief, trainees would receive $7,500 in stipends over the course of the program as they achieve the milestones.
Please note that because of restrictions with our funding, trainees must be either U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents in order to receive stipends while in the program. However, there are no citizenship or immigration status related requirements for participating in the program. Anyone who does not meet the criteria for the stipend can still complete the certification program; they simply would not be able to receive any stipends while doing so.
There are many CHWs in Tennessee who have significant training and experience and would like to receive certification.
