Workforce

On behalf of our member organizations, CCALAC hosts a recruitment program which is comprised of three main facets: The Job Board, Recruitment Newsletter, and Presentations and Career Fairs.

Job Board

Our Job Board is provided as a free service to our members and affiliates. We post clinical and non-clinical job listings at your request. We use the Job Board to highlight openings when we attend career fairs and make presentations to students and job seekers. In an effort to leverage the power of content and social media marketing, CCALAC reaches out via social networks to increase the audience for our recruitment efforts. We also use these listings to build the Job Board Newsletter that we send to interested job seekers. If you have not been utilizing this resource, please visit the job board now. We look forward to posting your job openings!

Presentations and Job Fairs

In addition to posting your job openings, the CCALAC recruitment team routinely visits college, universities, residency programs, and job fairs throughout Los Angeles County. We work to educate residents and students on the opportunities available within community health centers and collect resumes of employment candidates. Volunteer presenters are invited to join us at appropriate events. If you know of recruitment opportunities CCALAC should attend or would like to join us at a future Recruitment Event, please email Alexander Gil, Workforce Recruitment Program Manager at: agil@ccalac.org.

Workforce Newsletter

We distribute resumes of job seekers directly to our members and affiliates. If you are a member or affiliate and not already receiving our newsletter, please subscribe to the Workforce Newsletter!

Are you a current student about to complete your healthcare program or healthcare certificate? Are you interested in learning and working in a community health center? This program may be for you!

The CCALAC Allied Health Internship Program will place up to 25 individuals in a paid 110-hour in-person internship at one of our member health centers within LA County. Internships will take place throughout the Spring and Summer of 2025. Prior to their internship, participants will participate in orientation, plus two fundamental workshops. Interns receive $1,500 stipend for completing the 110-hour requirement.

At the end of the internship, allied health interns will receive a certificate of completion, and, depending on their internship site’s needs, may receive a job offer!

Allied Health Internship Program

CCALAC invites member health centers to participate in the Collaborative for Retention, Engagement, and Wellness (CREW). This program will bring together 5-8 member health center teams to learn and discuss recruitment, onboarding, retention, and staff wellness through a justice and transformation lens, as it relates to staff burnout, well-being, and the quality of care we provide to our communities.
