Vermont Business Magazine Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) is pleased to announce its continuing partnership with Community College of Vermont (CCV), which has recently been approved by the State Apprenticeship Council as a new apprenticeship sponsor.
CCV will offer registered apprenticeships in Medical Assisting, supported by an Apprenticeship Expansion Grant from the Vermont Department of Labor, which seeks to increase the number of apprenticeships statewide into industries and positions not traditionally seen as occupations for apprenticeship. The Medical Assisting Apprenticeship includes five college-level courses paired with related instruction in a clinical setting. The clinical training is performed and led by BMH.
Modeled after the successful College to Career pathway partnership between BMH and CCV, participants can sit for a certification in Medical Assisting once a list of competencies are met, and can expect employment at BMH as a Medical Assistant.
