How to Use this Website
On this website you will find career ladders for entry-level positions in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors. In each of these sectors we have identified entry-level jobs that have consistent growth in the region and have opportunities for advancement.
A career ladder describes the pathway from entry level positions to positions with higher levels of pay, skill, responsibility, or authority within an industry.
This site has the following information:
A career ladder overview for the manufacturing sector and the healthcare sector
The foundational skills required in the manufacturing sector and the healthcare sector
General entry-level training for manufacturing and healthcare available in the region
Other training available that is related to these sectors – like health and safety
A list of entry-level occupations (highlighted in black) and the mid-level occupations (highlighted in blue) for both sectors, manufacturing and healthcare. Each job has its own page that includes job titles, a skills inventory, and training opportunities
