She will begin her new role on January 3, 2019. Minton has served as a philanthropic consultant to Phoenix Society through her firm, Philanthropia Partners, since 2015, most notably leading the "Never Alone Campaign," which raised over $6 million to support a variety of organization initiatives. This is a large transition for Minton, as she will be closing Philanthropia Partners, which she founded in 2000.

Sherry Pfaff-Doody Director, Talent Acquisition, Diversity and Inclusion, Sparrow Health System, Lansing, MI speaks with Jeffrey Mosher. her department is the CAMW! MVP for November 2018.

In today’s health care labor market, medical assistants are in high-demand.

● To meet the industry’s occupational needs, Sparrow Health System and other local health care facilities enlisted the help of Capital Area Michigan Works! to recruit those interested in participating in an apprenticeship program for medical assistants.

● The first cohort of Sparrow’s Medical Assistant Training Program

began in January 2018 and the medical assistants will graduate on

Tuesday, Nov. 27.

● This year there are five medical assistants going through the

program and we will have 12 in the 2019 cohort.

● As our first cohort wraps up, we constantly are thinking of ways

to enhance the program moving forward. I attended the Capital Area Michigan Works! Apprenticeship in a Day interactive workshop on Friday, Nov. 16 on behalf of Sparrow.

● The workshop was geared toward employers wanting to develop

and launch a US Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program and

she found it very helpful.

● As the labor market gets tighter in the future we will begin

looking to expand our program to other occupations in the healthcare field.

● The majority of our medical assistant positions work full-time.

As they go through the program, the medical assistants attend class

and do on-the-job training where they can apply and practice what

they have learned in the classroom. Our program pays the medical

assistants to be in the classroom learning these skills.

● As the director of talent acquisition for Sparrow, the most

rewarding part is seeing current caregivers learn a new skill while

they continue to work and maintain their pay and benefits.

● The medical assistant training program is only open to current

Sparrow caregivers.
