Getting started in a healthcare career is easy. Simply contact the training provider of your choice, or visit your nearest Career Solutions Center. You’ll be asked to complete an intake form and schedule Work Keys Testing, a requirement for state-funded programs. You’ll also need official copies of transcripts from any colleges you’ve attended in the past. Your information will then be given to a Career Coach who will guide you through the process from admissions through training into employment. If you’re not sure which career is right for you, just ask.
