Healthcare

Our state’s aging population and the constant advancements in medicine require that healthcare companies run as efficiently as possible. Registered Apprenticeship programs in Medical Assisting, Licensed Nursing Assistant, Medical Billing and more provide the New Hampshire healthcare industry the trained employees they need now and in the future.

Registered Apprenticeships in healthcare in New Hampshire provide invaluable skills and work-based training to aspiring healthcare professionals in the state. These programs are designed to bridge the gap between classroom-based learning and practical hands-on experience, equipping participants with the necessary competencies to thrive in a variety of healthcare occupations.

ApprenticeshipNH works with organizations across the state to make sure apprentices learn the essential skills that employers want. These apprenticeships provide a structured framework where participants can acquire practical skills and theoretical knowledge, combining classroom instruction with on-the-job training. Apprentices in healthcare gain valuable experience in areas such as medical assistant, LNA, pharmacy technician, patient support representatives, and more.

Registered Apprenticeships set the foundation for employee success and the continued growth of organizations.
