Healthcare is the largest employment sector in the nation and will continue to expand as baby boomers age and technology keeps people alive longer. The current economic downturn and layoffs in multiple sectors have compelled job seekers to look for fast career training that will lead to good-paying jobs.

Liberty Adult Education, in partnership with Boston Reed College, is offering fast-paced healthcare training programs designed to prepare students for the healthcare workforce. Class schedules are designed for busy adults. Students will experience a hands-on externship at a local healthcare facility. Textbooks, classroom materials and externship placement are included in the program fee. A free online information session allows prospective students to learn more about opportunities in healthcare, financial assistance and prerequisites.

Clinical Medical Assistant classes will be offered Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 9 p.m. beginning Dec. 4. To register, visit www.bostonreedcollege.com and click on Get More Info, or call 800-201-1141.
