The CHW Career Web
This one-page career web graphic provides examples of the various career paths options for Community Health Workers (CHWs). It places the CHW profession at the center and has 5 different career clusters (clinical, education, advocacy, CHW management, and social work) that branch out. Following a horizontal path implies the role is of relatively equal progression from the CHW role in terms of characteristics like role requirements, skills, and/or salary. The vertical paths indicate a more drastic change in additional role requirements (e.g. skills, education, experience) and/or salary increase.
