Chattanooga State Community College is now accepting applications for its first registered apprenticeship in a white-collar occupation.
The one-year apprenticeship for medical assistants will include paid full-time employment at CHI Memorial Hospital’s Chattanooga-area clinics, classes in the evening and online and on-the-job learning to prepare participants for a career with CHI.
At the end of their training, successful apprentices will be eligible to take the National Health Career Association’s Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam.
The registered apprenticeship operates under the supervision of both the Tennessee and United States departments of labor. Graduates receive Department of Labor certification that’s recognized in all 50 states.
Chattanooga State serves as the program sponsor, handles all paperwork and reports to the DOL.
CHI Memorial joins such local business leaders as Gestamp Chattanooga, Komatsu, Mueller, WestRock, Valmont Industries, Sphere One and Chattanooga Bakery in becoming a registered apprenticeship partner with Chattanooga State.
Interested applicants can forward their resumes to ewd@chattanoogastate.edu or call the apprenticeship office at 423-697-3320.
