In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week we are highlighting some of the apprentices working and learning in Michigan health centers. Imani Henry, MA is currently in Grace Health’s MA Apprenticeship Program.
- Why did you decide to become an apprentice at a Michigan health center?
I’ve grown up in this city and state so it’s more personal to me to try and help make a difference in my own community, I love to help people and try to make a difference in their day so being able to do that in my own community is amazing. - What has been your favorite experience working as an apprentice?
Besides the fact that I’m just so excited to be working and learning at the same time I’m loving the relationships that I’m building with everyone, everyone has been so excited for us that it makes it even more exciting to continue this career journey with so many people cheering us on. - How will being an apprentice support your future career goals?
I’ve always known I wanted to work in health care because of how much I value relationships with people so when I was presented with the chance to jump start my career and focus on my MA certification while working hands on I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me.
