Career ConneCT Grant
The Charter Oak State College Foundation, Inc. was awarded a grant through the State of Connecticut, Office of Workforce Strategy Career ConneCT program to offer tuition-free, online training in Health Information Management (HIM). This non-credit, microcredential program is comprised of three levels of training that mirror the front, middle and back end of the revenue cycle of a hospital or other health care organization. This training will lead directly to entry-level employment opportunities and to educational pathways with credit-bearing certificates or degrees at Charter Oak State College.

The eligible student population are CT residents 18 years or older who are either unemployed or underemployed.
