In this two-year NYSED-Approved CTE Program, students are provided with an exploratory experience of emerging health occupations. Students study the concept of “Life Cycle” and identify factors contributing to positive personal health. The basic course integrates the NYS High School health curriculum. In the advanced year, students develop the skills to obtain entry-level employment in the health care field. This program is also designed to enhance students' leadership, communication, and management skills, with a strong emphasis on professional behavior throughout. After successful completion of the program, students will have met the clinical and classroom requirements for the NYS Nursing Assistant exam.
Students participating in this program must meet all medical requirements for working in a health care facility (hospital and nursing home).
