The program develops a highly skilled workforce, so business and industry benefits, too. As part of the Brown County Consortium, we have 8 programs available in 10 school districts. Not all programs are available in every district. Students will work in a credit union, savings and loan operation, or a bank. They train in therapeutic and diagnostic procedures and perform medical and office procedures.
Students work in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes.
Students spend part of each day, usually mornings, in their high school completing the classes they need to graduate. They also attend a class related to the field they've chosen at a community site. In addition, they spend 10 to 15 hours a week on the job applying the skills they learned in the classroom. Students are paid minimum wage for their work. The program lasts four semesters.
