Saddleback College is joining with Boston Reed College to begin offering new health care programs. The classes will begin in February and will be offered by the college’s Community Education Department.
The specialties will focus on high demand job areas, providing training and certification for pharmacy technician, orthopedic technician, and optometric technician.
Estella Castillo-Garrison, Saddleback College Director of Community Education, stated, “Saddleback College Community Education is constantly striving to develop and offer the finest and most current educational programs. Our goal is to not only offer programs as a general service to our community, but to make sure valuable programs, like career training, are available when residents in our community need them the most.”
Boston Reed College is based in Napa, California and specializes in providing occupational training to adults seeking stable careers in the healthcare industry. It claims to be “the leading provider of healthcare career training programs offered through public/private training partnerships in the United States.”
Registration for the Saddleback campus is open, and flexible schedules are offered for busy adults. Textbooks and externship placement are included with the program fee. A no-cost “Discover a Career in Healthcare” workshop is available at Saddleback College for those wishing to learn more about careers in healthcare, training programs, prerequisites, and externships. For information on this workshop or to register, visit Saddleback College’s Community Education website at www.saddleback.edu/ceor call (949) 582-4646.
