Link to ‘Strengthening NH’s Clinical Placement Opportunities’ report: 

The NH Area Health Education Centers, with funding from the Endowment for Health, have released a new report on the state of clinical education placements in NH. The clinical placement process represents an important part of completing a clinically-based education, but the lack of sites; inconsistencies in   managing the placement process; and the dwindling ability of skilled clinicians to act as preceptors in the workplace represent real barriers to having students complete their programs and enter the field.

This report investigates the themes found, and makes some recommendations on how to decrease these barriers in the clinical placement process.

FOR EMPLOYERS

Grow your workforce and train the next generation.

Registered Apprenticeship and Pre-apprenticeship are a great way to create a pipeline of skilled workers trained to meet your expectations. As a productive employee from day one, an apprentice in your program receives direct hands-on training from you while they receive technical training from the Community College System of NH. Apprentices work with a mentor within your company who will show them the “tips of the trade” while enhancing or improving the company culture through knowledge transfer and building relationships.

A member of the ApprenticeshipNH team will work with you to develop a Registered Apprenticeship program to meet the needs of your business and walk you through the registration process. The ApprenticeshipNH team has the expertise and financial resources to help you develop an   apprenticeship program. ApprenticeshipNH can also help you with recruiting and screening potential apprentices, while guiding you to resources in NH that help to fund the cost of on-the-job learning and related instruction.
