Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA) is honored to be a recipient of The Nursing Expansion Grant from U.S. Department of Labor to continue enhancing professional pathways to Nursing and addressing the labor shortage nursing professionals face in the care economy across the Texas-Mexico border. This grant project will provide VIDA with the opportunity to train and upskill 725 participants in high demand nursing occupations and ultimately secure employment at a partner hospital. VIDA is grateful to The U.S. Department of Labor for recognizing the value in education to build and sustain a competitive nursing workforce in our community.
