NORTH TEXAS JOB CORPS SALUTES MDICAL PROGRAMS

COVID-19 has taught us many things, but perhaps foremost it has taught us the importance of the dedicated individuals in the medical professions.  North Texas Job Corps salutes the three medical training programs taught at the center–Certified Nursing Assistant, Patient Care Technician and Clinical Medical Assistant-and their instructors and students.

Upon completion of these programs, students earn nationally recognized credentials from the National Healthcare Association and state-issued credentials/licenses.  PCT and CMA students also receive credentials as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician and a Certified EKG Technician.  All medical students earn credentials from the American Heart Association, including Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers, Bloodborne Pathogens and First Aid, and earn HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) credentials.  Hats off to all of the NTJC medical trade students as they embark on their careers in today’s challenging health fields.

Job Corps is the largest nationwide residential career training program in the country and has been operating for more that 50 years.  Job Corp has trained and educated over two million individuals since 1964.  The North Texas Job Corps center is located in McKinney, TX.  Our job training program helps eligible youth ages 16-24 train for meaningful careers in Construction, Healthcare, Hospitality, Transportation, Homeland Security and Finance/Business.  Students are able to complete their high school education and obtain employment.  Through our partnership with Collin College students can take advantage of Advanced Training and enroll in college.
