"The programs offered at our campus are designed to meet the real workforce needs of this region, and we look forward to welcoming neighbors, partners, and prospective students through our doors."
Healthcare is the fastest-growing industry in Phoenix, according to the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, and the Carrington College Phoenix campus offers career-focused training directly aligned with that demand. Programs are structured to prepare graduates for entry-level positions in clinical and administrative roles, with many completable in under two years.
"Allied health professionals are the backbone of patient care, and Phoenix is a region where that need is only getting more pronounced," Hager said. "Every program at this campus reflects our dedication to producing graduates who are ready to contribute from day one."
