Interested in a career in health care? It's the fastest growing job area in Florida (and the U.S.)! We will walk you through entry-level opportunities & career ladders. Registration is required.
Join representatives from the Alachua County Library District, UF Health, and Harbor Chase Assisted Living Facility as they share what it's like to work in the growing health care field. We are especially focusing on entry-level positions and will provide information about the career ladders for desired higher-level positions. We will begin with an overview of getting started in the health care field and some very basic medical terminology. (For example, do you know what 'Neurology' means?) You will hear from folks about their daily on-the-job experiences and the opportunities available in various medical fields and support staff positions. We will learn about the differences between working in a hospital setting versus an assisted living facility. Representatives will share what skills, traits, and training their organization looks for in new employees, with opportunities to have your questions answered. All materials will be provided. A (non-accredited) certificate will be presented to participants who attend ALL 6 sessions. Registration is limited to 24 participants. For more information, please call 352-334-3920 or email jmerritt@aclib.us .
