CCWA’s Healthcare team is building powerful connections across the Richmond region to create hands-on learning opportunities for students. By the end of 2024, CCWA secured new clinical partnerships with both VCU Health and Bon Secours, adding to its growing network of healthcare employers committed to student success.
Through these new agreements, VCU Health will provide clinical placements for Nurse Aide students, while Bon Secours will host Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA) externships. These experiences offer real-world exposure that builds confidence and sharpens essential skills.
Another recent major achievement was the launch of CCWA’s new Pharmacy Technician FastForward program with Bremo Pharmacy. Thanks to this partnership, students will be able to gain internship experience working under the supervision of licensed pharmacists while preparing to earn their Pharmacy Technician certification.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of pharmacy technicians has expanded significantly, and demand for trained professionals continues to grow. CCWA’s updated curriculum and new internship opportunities are designed to meet these workforce needs while supporting students on a meaningful career path.
CCWA is now actively collaborating with 16 healthcare employers in the region to offer clinicals, externships and internships. These partnerships reflect a shared commitment to training the next generation of healthcare professionals.
