VILLE PLATTE, La. — In an effort to make healthcare careers more accessible, the Emerge Pulse Training Institute in Ville Platte is offering affordable and convenient training programs for individuals looking to start new careers in healthcare. With a mission to empower local residents, the institute is providing specialized courses that can lead to certifications in Phlebotomy, EKG, and CPR.
Eugena Washington, the director of Emerge Pulse Training Institute, has been working in healthcare for over two decades. Her experience in the field inspired her to create a program that would help others reach their career goals and improve their financial stability. “I wanted to start something where it was feasible for others to be able to get more education and take care of their families,” said Washington.
The institute offers four-week courses that cover Phlebotomy, EKG technology, and CPR, which are all certified programs. Upon successful completion, graduates will be qualified to work as phlebotomists or EKG technicians in hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors’ offices. Washington emphasized that the program is designed not only to provide valuable skills but also to help students gain employment in a rapidly growing industry.
A key focus of the Emerge Pulse Training Institute is affordability. As the cost of living continues to rise, Washington wanted to ensure that the courses would be accessible to people in the Ville Platte area. “It’s important to make sure classes are in the evening so they won’t interfere with students’ work schedules or personal lives,” she explained. “And we offer payment plans so that anyone can get a better education, even if they can’t afford the full cost upfront.”
The first Phlebotomy courses at the institute are scheduled to begin on March 4th. Interested individuals can sign up for the programs through the Emerge Pulse Training Institute’s website or Facebook page. With a focus on affordability, flexibility, and career readiness, the institute aims to provide essential opportunities for people in Ville Platte and surrounding communities to begin new careers in healthcare.
