Course Description

Discover health careers options and see which path fits you best.

In this 5-day program, you will build essential job-readiness skills, explore state-of-the-art health labs, earn your BLS CPR certification, and participate in interactive workshops on resumes and interviews. The program also includes direct connections with industry professionals from local clinics and hospitals. 

This pre-apprenticeship program will help you become a strong candidate for healthcare apprenticeship programs. Typically, the “earn and learn” model puts apprentices in paid positions with a company while you also attend college.
