A new state initiative will partner several local healthcare agencies and companies with SUNY Canton and St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES to provide free college education and jobs to students who want to work in healthcare, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
Students in the so-called P-Tech program can start a healthcare career track at St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES in the allied health program, then receive a free associate's degree from SUNY Canton or North Country Community College. They will then be first in line for jobs at St. Lawrence Health System, Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Massena Memorial Hospital, United Helpers, Kinney Drugs and Northern Area Health Education Center, Cuomo said.
The program, which was part of the 2013-14 state budget, is modeled after a public-private partnership in New York City with IBM, according to Cuomo's statement.
