Summary
Great Bay Community College has launched a new Medical Assistant Registered Apprenticeship Program, collaborating with ApprenticeshipNH and the NH Office of Apprenticeship. This initiative aims to address the workforce shortage of medical assistants in the Seacoast area by providing employers with a structured pathway to train and upskill individuals through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
The program is designed to support both apprentices and employers, offering financial incentives such as scholarships for apprentices and funding for employers. This approach not only helps individuals start or transition into a career in healthcare but also aids employers in building a skilled workforce, reinforcing the importance of registered apprenticeship programs in developing essential skills and addressing labor market needs.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative highlights the vital role of registered apprenticeship programs in creating pathways for career advancement in healthcare. By connecting education with hands-on training, it offers an effective solution to workforce shortages while providing apprentices with meaningful, paid work experience.
