Stackable Credential
Health Careers

This credential is part of a larger program sequence rather than a standalone award, so it doesn’t carry its own labor market dataset. Here’s what it covers and where it fits.

What You’ll Study

Built primarily for high school juniors and seniors exploring health care: entry-level coursework in the first semester, then IECC’s Basic Nurse Assistant Training program in the second.

Where It Leads

  • Certified nursing assistant
  • Entry point to allied health programs

This is an exploratory credential rather than a standalone career track, so it has no separate wage data — see the Basic Nurse Assistant Training tab for the outcomes it leads into.
