Introduction to Healthcare Employment & Apprenticeship Program (IHAP) is a free, 80-hour, 5-week hybrid pre-apprenticeship program.

Starting in February 1, 2027, classes are held Monday through Thursday, mostly virtually with some in-person activities.

Participants receive job-readiness training, healthcare career exploration, resume and interview preparation, and CPR/BLS and Mental Health First Aid certifications, along with connections to healthcare employment and apprenticeship opportunities.

After graduation, career navigators can support you in finding employment and exploring additional training and career advancement opportunities, including NA-C (Nursing Assistant – Certified) training and more advanced programs such as healthcare apprenticeships.
