Expectations Upon Graduation
Participants are asked to provide permanent contact information for ongoing communication beyond graduation and post-graduate surveys for data collection purposes. This project was funded by a grant awarded under the H-1B grants by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. Collecting this information helps track the long-term success of this training program.
Your personal information is kept confidential and secure. It will not be shared with outside agencies other than those supporting or overseeing the H-1B grant received by the University of Alabama and issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Your information will never be sold or shared with third-party agencies through your participation in grant-supported training activities.
For all participants, the CCN Nursing Expansion Grant Program will remain in contact with your employer to see if you have 1) increased skills and 2) increased salary due to your nursing education
