History

The SEIU Healthcare NW Training Partnership and the SEIU Healthcare NW Health Benefits Trust were formed by SEIU Healthcare 775NW and a group of long-term care employers.

The Training Partnership

The Training Partnership delivers innovative training to 40,000 Home Care Aides in Washington each year.

The Training Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)3 school formed by SEIU Healthcare 775NW and participating employers, including the State of Washington (employer of record), to train and develop professional long-term care workers to deliver high quality care and support to older adults and people with disabilities. In collaboration with SEIU Healthcare 775NW, employers throughout the state, our College Consortium and our Community Network, the Training Partnership is developing innovative, meaningful training programs to help transform the long-term care profession. The aim is better training for long-term care workers, and in turn, better care for long-term care consumers.

The Health Benefits Trust

The Health Benefits Trust designs and delivers high quality healthcare benefits to support a healthy workforce. Through the Health Benefits Trust, affordable medical, prescription drug, vision and dental benefits are available to Home Care Aides.

The Health Benefits Trust is a Taft-Hartley trust formed by SEIU Healthcare 775NW and participating employers, including the State of Washington (employer of record), to negotiate and purchase high quality healthcare benefits for long-term care workers in Washington and Montana. The Health Benefits Trust works with top health insurance carriers in the region to assemble high-quality health insurance benefits that support the specific needs of long-term care workers. Its aim is a healthy, stable workforce.
