Choffin Career and Technical Center hosted an open house and ribbon cutting to celebrate the introduction of the YOUMed Academy. The academy comprises five programs, including in-demand medical, dental, rehab sciences, and patient care careers. Scholars, and students from partnering high schools, such as Cardinal Mooney, Ursuline, and Valley Christian, can also take advantage of these courses and other programs offered at Choffin.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall employment in the healthcare professions is expected to grow by 13 percent from 2021 to 2031; this growth will lead to 2 million jobs over the next decade. Choffin is preparing our scholars now for this projected increase in job opportunities, setting them on the path of being job-ready.
