Climbing the Career Ladder
Seth O.
Licensed Practical Nurse,
UH Cleveland Medical Center
UHs’ workforce development program helped Seth Ofori become a patient care nurse assistant (PCNA), and now he is close to becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN).
I contacted the workforce development team and asked them what I needed to do to qualify for this Earn and Learn program. The advice they gave me really helped me to prepare for these wonderful opportunities. UH has incredible career ladders, and everyone is welcome to climb.”
