Start Your Career in Healthcare
Are you ready to start your career in healthcare? Joining one of Jordan Valley Community Health Center’s Department of Labor registered apprenticeships is a great way to start. During your apprenticeship you’ll learn from an instructor with experience in the field and will have hands-on practice with patients in our clinics so you can apply what you’ve learned in the real world. When you complete your apprenticeship program you’ll have the certification you need to move into a full-time role at Jordan Valley, and after fulfilling your two-year commitment, you’ll be debt free!
