Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester has received a $197,183 Kenneth J. Donnelly Workforce Success Grant, which the school will use to help pay for unemployed residents who wish to take part in the administrative medical professional program, QCC announced on Monday.
Such grants are designed to provide targeted support to Massachusetts residents who live in circumstances which make it difficult for them to get jobs.
Through the program, students learn the ins and outs of the work and regulatory compliance necessary to fill medical administrative assistant positions. If they stay employed for at least 30 hours per week, for 60 days after completing the program, they receive a $500 stipend, according to QCC.
“We are presently recruiting for two classes that will begin in the spring/summer,” said Kathie Manning, dean of QCC’s Workforce Development and Continuing Education. “This program includes all materials, as well as the certification test.”
