Health Occupations & Professions
	The healthcare industry is the largest employer in the region. Jobs in the healthcare field range from professional jobs requiring many years of education beyond high school to semi-skilled jobs available immediately after high school with minimal education requirements. Preparation for both is available at CCCHS.
