\u201cIt might be a single mom who doesn\u2019t have childcare,\u201d Larimore said of the additional costs covered by the program. \u201cOr if you have transportation issues, whether you don\u2019t have a ride or you\u2019re not on a bus line. It could be that you need a laptop to do your schoolwork on and you don\u2019t have one. We will take care of that from our hospital IT department.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stark State is also committed to being flexible with students\u2019 work and class schedules, Larimore said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And if someone can\u2019t complete the program or commit to working at Akron Children\u2019s afterward, they won\u2019t necessarily be forced to reimburse the program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re a student, whether you\u2019re an employee or community member, and you\u2019re not able to commit because you\u2019re not able to overcome a barrier, or you need to not complete the program right now for whatever reason and you\u2019re going to start again in a year, we\u2019re not going to collect in those situations,\u201d Larimore said. \u201cAt the end of the day, this is about providing opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Community members who are interested in the Career Launch program will go through an interview process and meet with hospital leaders in the field or fields that interest them, Larimore said. If accepted, Akron Children\u2019s will offer them an immediate job in whatever capacity they can handle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe want to get them into employment right away at whatever hours they\u2019re comfortable with,\u201d Larimore said. \u201cMaybe that\u2019s just eight hours a week.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The standard tuition reimbursement program at Akron Children\u2019s covers up to $5,250 per year in tuition to study a hospital-related field, and has no work commitment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For years, employees have taken advantage of the tuition reimbursement to further their careers and increase their earning potential.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [divider style=”10″]<\/p>\n Interested in learning more about how to get started as a Flight RT, Flight Medic, Flight Nurse or EMS Pilot?<\/strong><\/p>\n Join our Future Flight Crew Private Facebook Group.
