Industry Awareness Webinar: Exploring Healthcare Pathways for YouthBuild Programs
About
Healthcare is one of the most popular Construction Plus (C+) pathways among U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) YouthBuild programs, and for good reason: overall employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 11.2% from 2022 to 2032 — four times faster than the average for all occupations. It can be hard to keep up with this rapidly expanding sector, but we can help!

This webinar will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn more about healthcare both as an industry and as a viable C+ pathway.

Webinar attendees will:
- Gain awareness of the many career options within the healthcare sector.
- Understand what credentials, skills and training are needed to enter the various career options.
- Identify resources to independently research healthcare pathways (e.g., Bureau of Labor Statistic, competency models).
- Identify emerging pathways within healthcare including apprenticeships.
