New Public Health Training Academy of Connecticut
Success StoriesThe Connecticut Department of Public Health has used PHIG funding to develop the new Public Health Training Academy of Connecticut (PHTAC), in partnership with the New England Public Health Training Center and the Public Health Foundation’s TRAIN Learning Network. PHTAC is a collaboration of learning networks delivered through a singular portal, designed to enhance and expand prior workforce development and training programs for public health professionals in the state. It will also help the agency address training needs around its strategic priorities (e.g., health equity, communications, community partnership building, and systems thinking), increase access to professional development opportunities, and enrich the overall continuing education learning culture for public health professionals in Connecticut.
