Shawnee Community College encourages lawmakers to continue funding the Pipeline for the Advancement of the Healthcare Workforce, or PATH grant, during the Fall Veto Session.
The grant program expands and funds nursing and healthcare training programs in community colleges across Illinois.
PATH assists community colleges in expanding access to healthcare education opportunities, allowing more students to obtain credentials and degrees.
PATH helped provide hundreds of students with tuition and fee assistance, course kits, textbooks, licensure, testing fees, and uniforms.
The program supports many pathways at SCC including nursing, occupational therapy assisting, medical billing or coding specialist, emergency medical technician, and first responder.
