Students at the Ashtabula County Technical and Vocational Campus are preparing to fill much-needed positions in the healthcare field.
The program educates juniors and seniors to become pharmacy, nursing and dental assistants, all of which are in high demand.
Some students also get paid while they are still in school, as they develop their skills while helping area healthcare professionals who need workers.
Pharmacist Marybeth Betteys, Nursing Assistant Ashley Gillette and Dental Assistant Shannon Piper have all worked in their respective fields for many years and continue to be active in bringing students up-to-date expertise.
According to instructors, during students’ junior year, they learn from all three teachers and then specialize in their senior year.
