Learn & Earn: Human Services Program
Merrick Community Services, in cooperation with our partners at Hired and the Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM), are proud to announce our Learn & Earn Human Services Program. This program will provide participants ages 18-30 with career-readiness skills, technical training, exposure to different types of human services pathways, such as Certified Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy, Mental Health, Medical Office Administration, Psychologist, Sociologist, Adult/Residential Services Worker, Addiction Counseling, Community Outreach, Advocate, and Family Support Worker. This is just a partial list of careers in the field. If you find a career you feel falls under the Human Services category, we would be happy to help you explore it and advance in this area. We have numerous partners we work with to enable us to assist you in finding a new career at the end of the general training and internship periods.
