Time: 12:00 to 3:00 PM ET
The Learning Agenda for Systems Change (LASC) Toolkit 2.0 is a resource designed to help health departments reimagine workforce development. It supports building a workforce with the cross-cutting capabilities needed to address the root causes of community health challenges.
The LASC framework connects workforce development to community health assessment data by asking: What does our workforce need to know or be able to do to change the conditions that hold our community challenges in place?
