Health Care is one of the fastest growing industries. An aging population and the retirement of larger numbers of health care workers present a significant need for workers in health occupations.  As part of the Health Care Technician Program we help prepare the student to become a Certified Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide with a broad base of knowledge and understanding for more health career options.  Review the Nursing Assistant course information to learn more about the requirements of the course.  A Minnesota background check is also required as part of the Nursing Assistant course.

This course provides students with an opportunity to learn how to provide direct patient care.  Many of the SCTC Health and Human Services Division Programs have Program Applications that use point scales where direct patient care experience may assist someone in apply to a program.  The Health Care Technician also helps students gain marketable skills for gainful employment.
