High Demand in Health Care
Helping people is at the heart of health care. When you discover that health care is your purpose, it’s an added bonus that so many choices within health care are among the projected fastest growing occupations in Minnesota. Careers such as nurse practitioners, home health aides, phlebotomists, medical assistants, and healthcare administrative assistants are all projected to grow by at least 19 to 44 percent in Minnesota by the year 2022. That’s extremely promising for job placement and security!
