Taking the first step to train for a new career can be scary. Many people dream of working in the healthcare industry but may not know how to get started. Thanks to Texarkana College’s Integrated Education and Training Program, qualified students now have the opportunity to get academic assistance and reduced training costs.
The Texarkana Adult Education and Literacy program located at Texarkana College helps students every step of the way as they begin their new allied health careers. Financial assistance is available to pay half the cost of a training course if the student commits to completing one of the following allied health programs: Certified Nurse Aid (CNA), Medical Billing and Coding, Clinical Medical Assistant, Medication Aide, Dental Assisting, Pharmacy Tech, Electrocardiograph (EKG) Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), or Medical Administrative Assistant. These programs train students to achieve a certification but do not award college credit hours, which means traditional financial aid is not available.
