The Stability of a
Healthcare Provider Career

Recession Proof

Florida’s growing population of elderly and aging baby boomers continues to fuel an unprecedented demand for healthcare workers. To put it in simple terms, the high demand for healthcare workers creates a stable and secure career option that is filled with opportunities for sustainable growth.

The Department of Labor projects a 30.3% increase nationwide in the number of health care jobs between now and the next decade. That's 5 million new health care jobs. Health care careers are the rising stars of the employment outlook.

In February 2005, Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation Labor Market Statistics through 2012 reported the following:

91% of the occupational employment growth in Florida will occur in service-producing industry sectors such as Healthcare.

Health Support occupations will grow by 28% over the next 7 years. 92,728 new jobs are predicted to open in the Healthcare industry over the next 7 years.

Throughout the 2009 recession, these statistics have proven true as Florida’s unemployment rates reached record-highs. While most career fields experienced drastic decreases (many in the double digits), the employment demand for healthcare workers experienced an increase of more than 4%.

Many of the fastest growing health care jobs are concentrated in the health services field and 19% of all health care job growth in the next decade will be in health services. To best serve and address the long-term career objectives of our prospective students, Florida Medical Prep offers programs with high demand such as Articulated Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy, Patient Care Assistant and Home Health Aide programs.

Take Advantage of the Many Employment Opportunities within the Forever-Growing Healthcare Industry

Once you have your CNA certification, it will open the door to your medical career that provides you with opportunities to grow and advance within the healthcare industry. The healthcare industry offers the fastest growing employment opportunities available today.

Where you grow from CNA certification is up to you. Many of the healthcare facilities that hire you to work as a CNA will help pay for your school/education through special further education tuition reimbursement programs.

Although you will find that a CNA is a very rewarding career, you may choose to advance your medical career to become:

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
Registered Nurse (RN)
X-Ray Tech
Operating Room (OR) Tech
Emergency Room (ER) Tech

...and many others. As you advance in the healthcare facility, so will your paycheck!

Over the next decade nearly 5 Million new healthcare workers will be needed due to the aging population of baby boomers and advancements in medical technology.
