Denver Nursing Jobs Benefit from Training Initiatives

Those with Denver nursing jobs and healthcare jobs throughout Colorado will benefit from a slew of new proposed bills.

Gov. Bill Ritter recently announced new job-training initiatives meant to strengthen Colorado's workforce, support small businesses throughout the state and maintain a competitive stance among the national and global economy.

The initiatives include three bills that will be introduced during the 2010 legislative session, two of which focus around healthcare-related positions, as well as a CareerReady Colorado Certificate program.

The three bills include:

The CareerReady Colorado Certificate program, which was piloted earlier this year, will now be available throughout the state. It will provide job seekers with a state-issued credential certifying their skills and abilities, which also will make it easier for employers to find qualified candidates.

"Over the past three years, we've launched some of the most aggressive business- and workforce-development strategies in the country," Ritter said. "While Colorado residents and companies continue to struggle, our strategies are working and our economy is beginning to stabilize.

"We still have a long way to go, and government alone cannot fix the economy," he added. "But we can do our part. We can strengthen partnerships between government, schools and businesses. And we can ensure that job-training efforts match job-creation efforts. That's exactly what we're doing today, and the end result will be good Colorado jobs for hard-working Coloradans and a stronger homegrown workforce for our businesses."
