Health care is changing rapidly, and our workforce wants to grow and evolve along with it. That’s why National Workforce Planning and Development is hosting the first Workforce Development Week, October 19 to 22. This virtual event, open to all Kaiser Permanente employees, will connect you with resources to build your career, featuring speakers, career experts, activities and more.

Each morning of the event, we’ll release the content for the listed sessions on the Workforce Development Week website. View the sessions that interest you at any time, as your schedule allows, even after the week is over. Most sessions will be prerecorded and less than 15 minutes.

The event will focus on steps you can take to:

Explore career paths

Access tuition reimbursement and education trusts
Build in-demand skills
Engage with mentors, counselors and coaches
Prepare for tomorrow’s jobs

You’ll hear from leaders about the importance of a growth mindset, how career advancement is essential to diversity and why lifelong learning matters.

Other highlights will include:

A career expert panel, featuring success stories from employees, managers and a KP vice president (includes a live session that will take place on October 22 from 2 to 3 p.m. Pacific time and will be recorded)
A workforce development podcast launch
Activities to explore your interests and tips to get started

The first 200 registrants will receive free workforce development goodies.
