Allied health professionals, which make up more than 60% of the healthcare industry workforce, play a critical role within healthcare institutions. Your students work hard every day to prepare for their futures in healthcare. As an educator, you provide them with a solid educational foundation to help position them for a successful career.

Guiding your health science students toward an industry-recognized credential gives them an advantage as they complete training. Learn how to expand pathways to include certification and access to healthcare employment. When students enroll in CTE programs with the intention of working in a healthcare career, they learn that they can truly make an impact. Professional credentials provide access to hands-on experience, increased postsecondary attainment opportunities, and can empower them to enter a high-wage, high-demand profession.
