  • Staying current on programs and resources available to the community and how patients can access them.

Participant benefits
  • Full-time employment with hourly pay provided through the duration of the program
  • PTO and paid holidays, as well as health, vision, and dental insurance

Participant requirements
  • Must have reliable transportation
  • Must have a high school diploma or GED
  • Must be at least 18 years old
  • Must attend all classes in person
