Welcome to the Arizona Workforce Development (WFD) page
We’re glad you are here.
Health care professionals, the human beings behind our healthcare system, are a vital asset to improving health equity, access and outcomes within our communities. Ensuring that our Arizona healthcare workforce is capable and equipped with resources to develop their skill, knowledge and abilities needed to address today’s issues, while preparing for future capacity is important to sustainability, and is a critical function of WFD. This is accomplished through an integrated focus on Commitment, Culture, Connectivity, Capability and Capacity, (also known as the Five (5) C's outlined in our mission below) in connection with unique stakeholder collaborations.
