Are you interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare industry? The Avenues to Career Training program (ACT) offers a free 8-week training series to prepare participants to pursue a medical certification program and enter a career field with a strong labor market demand.
During the 8-week course, students will learn medical terminology, general healthcare knowledge, participate in computer and financial literacy training, and undertake a career exploration project to learn about job opportunities they would like to pursue.
The next course session will run from September 13 through November 5, 2021. Classes will be held weekdays from 1 to 3 p.m.
