Description
The Strengthening Community Colleges Training Program is led by the Michigan Coalition for Accelerated Healthcare Pathways (MCAHP). The program's goals are to increase the capacity and responsiveness of Michigan community colleges in providing a pipeline of skilled workers, and upskill those already in healthcare, to address the needs of employers of allied health professionals. The program offers online hybrid training and apprenticeships to those interested in entering into Allied Health. Future community college program offerings are an Anesthesia Technologist degree and a Cardiovascular Tech apprenticeship.
