When considering your next step, it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed. After high school, it can seem like there are SO many paths you could take. Do you start working right away? Maybe you tried that, but your retail or restaurant job feels like a dead end. Should you consider a four-year university? You don’t want to have to wait that long for your life to start. Thankfully, there are shorter and more focused learning opportunities—but they’re not all created equal! Here’s why you deserve MORE than a Lafayette community college.
Have you heard the term “career college?” Compared to a community college, Lafayette students choose career colleges because of their focus. Instead of wasting time on general education requirements, all your classes at a career college relate directly to your future career. For years, Delta College has successfully trained students for new opportunities using hands-on techniques from caring instructors. Additionally, small class sizes mean personal attention—regardless of which program interests you. At our Lafayette campus, you can choose from four different programs.
The Dental Assistant program in Lafayette prepares students to work in dental offices throughout Louisiana. In just seven and a half months, you can train for your new career! During this program, you’ll not only learn the necessary knowledge, but you’ll also get hands-on experience to hone your skills. Come by, take a tour, and see it for yourself.
Has the healthcare field caught your eye in the past? Becoming a Medical Assistant means you could join it in a meaningful way. For example, you’d work directly with patients to take their vital signs and assist doctors. Explore what our kind of school can do for you.
Do you prefer the business side of healthcare? That could be a shrewd move. In this digital age, Medical Office and Health Information Technicians are essential members of almost every healthcare practice. They’re the ones helping to run the office. That could include handling the billing, coding, as well as processing essential medical information. Check out this program if you love computers, are comfortable multi-tasking, and enjoy being part of a team.
Practical nurses are undoubtedly essential to most healthcare facilities. They’re often the ones patients remember most after a medical experience. Do you thrive on personal connections and love making a positive impact? Consider enrolling in a Practical Nurse program. Depending on your schedule, you can also take classes for this program at night too!
