2026 Strategic Workforce Planning Program

Forecast and plan the workforce your organization will need to succeed in the future. CPCA’s Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) certification program is based on HCI’s (Human Capital Institute’s) industry-recognized SWP certification program but tailored to the unique needs of CHCs. The online program is delivered in “bite-sized” sessions over the course of several months so community health centers have sufficient time to apply what they learn and get feedback from their faculty advisor and peers. Participants obtain a professional development opportunity, in-depth knowledge on strategic workforce planning and a certificate of completion and qualify for SHRM recertification credits.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand and articulate your health center’s business strategy and connect your strategic workforce planning processes to it to accelerate business outcomes.
• Segment your health center’s roles to determine how each position contributes value and which roles are a priority versus those in the periphery.
• Conduct an environmental scan of your health center to continuously identify and monitor trends that affect the workforce and the organization.
• Analyze the current state of your health center to evaluate, benchmark, and inventory today’s workforce.
• Construct a detailed future state for your health center through scenario planning of how the organization, environment, technologies, and operational norms will look in the coming years.
• Identify gaps between the current and desired future workforce and organizational state.
• Create an action plan for your health center to address, design, and/or restructure elements of the organization’s structure and talent initiatives.
• Monitor and report with quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and milestones that are identified in the action plan. Report findings to stakeholders and management.
