Health Related Occupations
The Health Related Occupations Program will provide a broad foundation of theory and clinical skills enabling students to pursue entry-level employment or continuing education. Students learn the theoretical base for skills in the classroom. Students then acquire practical skills in the lab before going to clinical agencies. Permanent certification for Homemaker Home Health Aide can be obtained after successful completion of the junior year of study and the completion of supervised clinical experiences. Certification as a Nursing Assistant requires successful completion of the senior year of study and completion of the State Certification examination. These courses prepare the students to provide basic care to clients in their homes, long-term care facilities, residential facilities and hospitals. Students in the senior year also take a unit in phlebotomy, which provides knowledge and skills necessary to draw blood specimens from veins (performing venipuncture).
