Join Via Hope for a free informational webinar celebrating peer support apprenticeships as a crucial new career pathway that keeps peer workers doing the work we love without feeling the need to transition to clinical work to make ends meet.

The event includes a panel of peer specialists, peer specialist supervisors and partnership sites. We’ll discuss the vital role peer support apprenticeships play in expanding services for marginalized populations, such as individuals with mental health and substance use challenges, as well as people returning to their communities after being incarcerated. Information will be provided about how to support and apply to apprenticeship programs.

⭐️ What Is Apprenticeship? ⭐️
Apprenticeship is an employer-driven model that uses related instruction and on-the-job training to provide individuals the opportunity to master essential skills and gain knowledge to be proficient in their occupation. It's referred to as an “earn while you learn” model because apprentices get paid while they learn on the job.

⭐️ About This Initiative ⭐️
In April 2023, Via Hope launched the Peer Specialist Registered Apprenticeship Program through the Department of Labor. By partnering with organizations that wish to become registered apprenticeship sites, this program allows employers to develop and prepare their workforce across multiple industries, while providing a high quality career path for peer specialists across Texas.

This program is funded by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Behavioral Health Workforce, Education and Training (BHWET) grant, with support from St. David's Foundation. Via Hope holds the responsibility of the sponsoring organization for Peer Specialist Registered Apprenticeship sites.
