Why Work in Healthcare?

If you’re looking for an in-demand career field, look no further than healthcare. New technologies, changes in administration, and an aging population have resulted in a quickly growing need for skilled individuals in medical support roles. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts a significant increase in employment for these roles, including:

All these rates are much faster than the average for all occupations. This means that individuals entering the healthcare field can open the door to lots of job opportunities with excellent security. Healthcare careers are about more than security and income, too. This is an exciting, constantly evolving industry where no two days are alike. The constant innovation creates room for growth, letting you expand your career into new areas. Healthcare careers also make a difference in people’s lives. At the end of your shift, you can feel great about having improved your patient’s lives.

Too many institutions train students with the bare minimum needed to earn certification. While this is enough to enter the job market, it may leave you underprepared for the workplace. In contrast, The Praxis Institute is committed to delivering a thorough education. Our experienced instructors equip students with the skills they need to enter their new jobs with confidence. We go beyond theory with an emphasis on hands-on experience.

We also support students after graduation with career services. You don’t need to navigate your job search alone, as we assist with:

Many of our graduates are able to build successful careers with our support.
