RBC | Helping Americans get back to work fast while growing their skills and at the same time filling critical labor shortages for rural employers is the aim of a new apprenticeship initiative being developed at the college.

Regional labor market data indicates the largest demand is in home health care and aids followed by registered nurses, EMTs, nursing assistants, and behavioral health substance abuse counselors.
