Education Partners

Propel America is glad to partner with a number of school districts, training providers and healthcare employers throughout Louisiana, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. These partners work together to create a system of support for fellows as they build upwardly mobile careers.

 

Beginning in 2023, Propel launched a partnership with College of Health Care Professions (CHCP) to support medical assistants in training in Baton Rouge. CHCP has over a decade of experience training medical professions online, which will help ensure our fellows secure meaningful jobs and help address workforce gaps in the healthcare industry. The Medical Assistant (MA) Fellowship is a tuition-free, 30-week academic and clinical training program that includes a 40-week academic experience followed by a 180-hour clinical externship at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. Fellows will be enrolled online at CHCP, and receive support from Propel in the form of 1:1 coaching, professional development training, and interviews.

 

In partnership with Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC), Propel offers a Sterile Processing Technician (SPT) Fellowship. This is a tuition-free, one-semester academic and clinical training program. The two courses required for completion of the program will take place at BRCC’s downtown Baton Rouge campus. While participating in the academic and clinical training, fellows receive support from Propel in the form of 1:1 coaching, professional development training, and job search support.
