Nurse
appreciates jump start
Candice
Hall couldn't wait to finish high school before she started training
to be a nurse. So she left her twin sister Cassie at Felicity
Franklin High School, enrolled in Grant Career Center and began an
allied health pathway that has led to employment as a nurse at Cincinnati
Children's Hospital. "I
love my job. I couldn't be happier, she says. Everything is
just how I want it. "
Enrolling
in College Tech Prep enabled Candice to accelerate her education
by combining college prep academics with project-based experience.
She
participated in a full slate of athletic and leadership activities,
while learning side-by-side with experienced professionals in hospitals
and health care facilities.
Candice
credits Tech Prep for exposing her to expanded opportunities including
scholarships that subsidized the expense of a 2003 UC Clermont College
degree. At age 23 she is a registered nurse, earning a salary
that far exceeds wages of her unskilled peers.
College
Tech Prep programs emphasize academics and skills essential for
high demand employment. Students may enter college with advanced
standing or college credits earned for high school technology programs.
