Highland Joins National Effort to Train Older Workers
(KNZA)--Highland Community College was recently chosen to join the Plus 50 Encore Completion Program, a national effort to train 10,000 baby boomers for new jobs in health care, education and social services. The program is sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges.
The College will assist adults age 50 and over in completing degrees or certificates in high-demand occupations that give back to the community. HCC will prepare older adults for careers in medical office assistant, certified medical aide, home care assistant provider, medical insurance coding, certified nursing assistant, licensed practical nurse, and medical transcriptionist.
Highland College is among 38 colleges that will now join 62 colleges previously selected for the program.
The program is funded with a $3.2-million grant to the American Association of Community College provided by the Deerbrook Charitable Trust.
