Summary:
MDAE requests approval to enter into an MOU with Kaiser, for the purpose of providing a one-time grant of $15,000.00 to support 2022-23 and 2023-24 Adult Education students in the MDAE Career Technical Education Center (CTEC) Surgical Technologist Program. This one-time scholarship grant is offered by Kaiser in recognition of and in response to a shortage of well-trained and well-qualified Surgical Technologists in the San Francisco Bay Area and in particular, Contra Costa County.

This funding by means of the scholarship grant awards will help defray the costs of transportation, childcare, and/or housing during students’ externships at San Francisco Bay Area hospitals. Externships are full days, four (4) days a week, for three (3) months. The duration and intensity of this final training, impact students’ ability to work at other jobs, affecting their earnings, thus impacting their ability to manage their transportation, childcare and/or housing costs.

MDAE will develop and manage an equitable student application process, selection criteria and rubric, as well as the distribution of the scholarship awards to selected and designated award recipients.

The term of the MOU is June 15, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
