Mark Twain Medical Center (MTMC) has pledged $50,000 annually to support Career Technical Education (CTE) programs in Calaveras County.
âThis support will help facilitate the goals set by the workforce development initiative emerging in our educational district,â a joint press release from MTMC and the Calaveras County Office of Education (CCOE) reads. âThe CTE group of seasoned education administrators and business developers recognizes the substantial need to close the healthcare gap in the (Mother Lode) region by increasing educational career pathway opportunities.â
Calaveras County is a âprofessional shortage area,â and the ratio of the population to healthcare providers is âover 60% higher than in other California counties,â the release reads.
