Training courses are not exclusive to a specific area of care; however, the learned skills are transferable between the various types of care including occupations that provide direct services in long-term care facilities and eldercare such as, but not limited to, certified nurse aid (CNA), massage therapist, and adult residential care home (ARCH) operator.

The FTW program supportive services include subsidies to cover course fees for FTW participants enrolled at a University of Hawaii (UH) community college campus for non- credit vocational programs in the healthcare industry such as nursing, CNA, ARCH services, and community health. Participants may earn certifications or credentials that allow them to work in long-term care facilities or work for community-based organizations that provide direct services in communities such as home visiting services. The FTW program encourages participants who are interested in the health care industry to enroll in these programs and assists participants to obtain employment after graduation or program completion.
