Career opportunities in the healthcare industry are growing and are in-demand. This is the time to make the move that will give you a new start and a bright future.

This is a collaborative effort between JJC departments: Workforce Development, Corporate & Community Services, Division of Adult & Family Services, and Allied Health/Nursing, to advance bridge programs as a model for providing low income, low skilled individuals with career opportunities in the healthcare industry. This project is funded through a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families which is administered by The Workforce Boards of Metropolitan Chicago.
