Apprenticeship
Programs
Apprenticeships offer the benefits of career exploration and a paycheck through short-term, hands-on training programs in a variety of fields. Apprenticeship Carolina, a program of the S.C. Technical College System, is a good place to start your search. With 16 colleges, the system covers all 46 counties and has more than 900 registered apprenticeships in a wide variety of career paths. Your local hospital may also offer job shadowing, mentoring, and many other career exploration opportunities as well as apprenticeships.
No Experience
Needed
Many rewarding hospitals jobs don’t require college degrees or certifications, and hospitals may offer on-the-job training for laboratory staff, nursing assistants, pharmacy technicians or administrative assistant positions. Hospitals also need staff in support areas such as security, food service and facilities maintenance, so experience in non-health fields can also provide a career path to hospital employment. It’s easy to find a link to “careers” or “employment” on hospital websites or you can contact the local Human Resources office.

Volunteer
Adult and student volunteers serve many crucial roles in hospital care, including greeting and escorting guests, providing companionship to patients and families, delivering mail and packages, driving courtesy shuttles, working in gift shops, transporting patients, and even cuddling babies. People with artistic and crafts talents can share those gifts with patients to brighten their hospital stays.
