Our programs are designed to meet the needs of local employers, scheduled to fit your busy lifestyle, and in many cases eligible for financial aid, scholarships or veterans educational funding.

Our professor “ covered all areas of the profession in a knowledgeable way that gave me the confidence to work.” Within a week of attending Brookdale’s Healthcare Opportunities Day Job Fair, Susan had an offer from Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ, where she’s now an ER Nurse and just received the Patient Recognition Award. “My husband and kids were really proud of that. I want to be a good role model. I want them to see that all the work they put into their education can build into doing a job they love.” n HEALTHCARE TRAINING For additional information regarding our Healthcare Training programs please call 732-224-2007 or email [email protected] 4 CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT SPRING 2019 NJ TRANSIT has launched new and improved bus routes in Monmouth and Middlesex counties that offer more frequent
