Description
This program is available in New Britain High School Academy of Health and Sciences, East Hartford High School Allied Health Pathway (EHHS AH) and Hartford Public High School Allied Health Pathway (HPHS AH).
The pathway offers themed health sciences instruction informed by an industry advisory board that serves as an essential bridge between school and the workplace. Students who complete the full pathway graduate high school with industry-recognized credentials earned in sequence:
First Aid/CPR/AED
Stop The Bleed
OSHA-10 – Healthcare
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
Mental Health First Aid
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA)
Also, as part of the AH pathway, students receive year-round instruction in work readiness that helps them develop employability skills (e.g., time management, teamwork, work ethic, and communication skills). The curriculum also offers practical instruction in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, financial literacy, and business writing.
Program's goal is to create a mutually rewarding school-business network – one where the business provides a full continuum of work-based learning experiences and the student provides value and work product to the business.
