Description

Aubrey L. Galusha and many colleagues describe a workforce program in 2026 at the Wadsworth Center, the large state public health laboratory in New York. Their CARE effort aimed to rebuild links with schools, support staff learning, improve new-staff orientation, and set up a steering group to guide the work.

Over 18 months the program reached more than 1,000 students through outreach. Most orientation participants answered all check questions correctly, staff in learning groups used modules far more often, and the steering group finished 13 goals in its first term. Satisfaction was at least 70 percent for each activity. The authors offer the low-cost model for other laboratories.
