Letter of Intent LOI Request - Public Health Apprenticeships
CDC's Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support, Workforce Development Branch is seeking proposals for 50 field-based assignments for the Public Health Apprentice Program (PHAP), a two-year workforce development program that provides opportunities for entry-level staff who show promise as future managers to gain broad experience in the day-to-day operation of local public health programs.

Assignments will begin on or about July 18, 2010. Information about PHAP is available on CDC’s Internet site.
The deadline for the two-page LOI is March 26, 2010 (Midnight EST). Organizations with accepted LOIs will be invited to submit a full application detailing the assignment.
