Central Region Job Centers Offer Paid Medical Training

Want more than just a job? How about a career with opportunities for growth, increased wages, and a sense of job security? 

In partnership with Bell Brown Medical Institute and Job Point training providers, several Central Region Missouri Job Centers are offering tuition and paid internships opportunities for those who qualify for three different career opportunities in the medical field. 

Those interested in becoming a Certified Medical Assistant will receive 20 weeks of training for certification; those interested in Phlebotomy will receive 8 weeks of training; and those interested in becoming a Certified Nurse Aid will receive 12 weeks of training. These three occupations are currently in high demand in the central region of Missouri. 

Participating Job Centers included the Lake Area Affiliate location at State Fair Community College, Capital City Job Center, Columbia Job Center, and the Fulton Affiliate location at the Fulton Chamber of Commerce.
