While in this program, students will get hands-on experience in their chosen career field in order to better prepare them for the workplace or college. Students are provided classroom, lab, and clinical experiences to prepare for employment in a variety of clinical settings chosen from a broad health occupations cluster. Students will receive an extensive healthcare background plus fifty-five to seventy hours of on-the-job training in a field that matches their personal occupational goals.
