Listen to what students are saying about Boston Reed College and their new careers.
Michelle began working at a fast food restaurant soon after high school graduation. She worked there two years when she realized she wanted more than just a job. She wanted a career. She loved working with people and needed some direction to make a change. 
Joyce was a mother of two young boys who took on the responsibility of primary caregiver for her grandmother who was suffering from Alzheimers. Through the process of caring for her grandmother, she developed an interest in becoming a nurse.
Joyce researched all of her education options including universities, junior colleges and adult schools. Unfortunately, most of the programs were too expensive and time consuming. After attending an information session, Joyce chose Boston Reed College over the competition.
Joyce graduated from Boston Reed College's nursing program in 2006. After graduation, she was hired by a local assisted living facility. She was such an exemplary student that she was asked to assist the nursing program at Boston Reed College. Joyce is a Licensed Vocational Nurse and a Licensed Administrator for Residential Care Facilities.
Carl was on disability for a back injury when a friend invited him to go to a Boston Reed College information session at the local adult school. Carl always had work. He was strong and fit. Unfortunately, every job he did required hard labor and did not pay well.
At the information session, Carl learned that the Phlebotomy program was the quickest way to get a job in healthcare. He also learned there were job openings for phlebotomists at a nearby hospital. That day Carl and his friend both signed up for the Phlebotomy Technician Program.
Carl became certified in 4 months. Today he works at one of the country's largest hospitals. He's grateful to be taking care of patients instead of moving furniture.
