Vermont Business Magazine The University of Vermont Medical Center and Vermont HITEC, a not-for-profit education center, are now accepting applications for a no-cost 8-week Phlebotomy training program that will lead to guaranteed jobs upon successful completion. Up to 8 selected participants will attend an 8-week program starting June 3, 2019, with employment beginning July 29, 2019. There will be 6 part-time and 2 full-time positions available as Phlebotomists, enrolled in a Registered Apprenticeship with stepped-up performance-based wages. All positions are full-time or part-time with benefits at UVM Medical Center.
No prior healthcare knowledge or experience is required to apply, but candidates are required to have a High School diploma or GED. A Phlebotomist is an integral part of the healthcare team and properly obtains blood specimens from patients of all ages, using venipuncture and capillary collection. Phlebotomists work in multiple healthcare environments such as inpatient and outpatient settings.
A grant of $2,000 per student is available to support living expenses during the 8-week program.
Vermont HITEC has partnered with businesses to employ more than 1,600 individuals in the healthcare, information technology, business services and advanced manufacturing fields. Vermont HITEC's technical and professional training closes the skills gap between motivated workers and the organizations that seek them. The program is funded in part by the US Department of Labor, the Vermont Department of Labor, and the Vermont Department of Economic Development.
