INTRODUCING CAREER LAUNCH PLUS! 

For the candidate looking for a fast track to graduation and a new career, Career Launch Plus allows you to study full-time and earn a degree or diploma from an accredited school while holding a student status at Akron Children's Hospital.  

For many students wanting a career in health care, juggling school and work can be challenging. That's why we created Career Launch Plus--a learning and professional development program that provides students with financial support, job shadowing, mentorship and a fast track to graduation and a new career. 

Career Launch Plus is currently accepting applicants who choose to obtain an Associate or Bachelor's degree in Respiratory Care or a certificate/diploma in Medical Assisting.

We also require that candidates be determined to complete their education while meeting the expectations of the role they accept with the hospital. Our participants are driven, motivated, and willing to go the extra mile to succeed.

After graduation, we help employees transition into their selected field of study to complete a work commitment and put their skills to use. Career Launch aims to remove barriers to education that prevent many from starting health care careers.
