About
Established in 2016, the TECH and TEACH programs are part of a multifaceted approach to address the social determinants of health in the North Des Moines community. As the largest employer in North Des Moines, Broadlawns recognizes that enhancing community health goes beyond traditional medical care. These programs provide access to healthcare training and employment opportunities, transforming the lives of youth, adults, their families, and our community.
- TECH Program: Participants are identified as having one or more barriers to employment and/or are at risk of disengaging from high school.
- TEACH Program: A registered apprenticeship for adults who have faced significant barriers to entering the workforce.
Focused on the neighboring community, the majority of participants will be selected from the 50314 and 50316 zip codes, areas in Des Moines with the highest poverty and unemployment levels.
