Hopkins Corporate Perks
Investing In You...
Our programs support current employees who may be preparing for career advancement opportunities in nursing and other skilled-health occupations. We also offer a broad range of refresher courses from GED and college preparation to knowledge in medical terminology and computer basics. Many of our programs are supported through partnership with local government, community-based organizations and community colleges.
Skills Enhancement Program (in-house)
Many employees want to change or grow their positions and need to refresh skills, learn medical terminology, or know word processing or other computer skills in order to qualify. Others need or want to earn a GED/high school diploma or learn American Sign Language. Employees interested in taking college entrance exams often need to brush up on skills to prepare. Others may find certain aspects of their job challenging due to math, reading or grammar/writing challenges.
The Skills Enhancement Program offers support for all of the above through small classes taught by caring instructors dedicated to helping employees meet their personal education and career goals. Classes are held at the main East Baltimore campus of The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Most classes meet in Phipps or Halsted. Classes meet daytime and evenings to accommodate the most employee schedules. Classes usually meet two hours twice a week. Employees must take classes on their own time. Spring classes generally begin in March. Fall classes start in the August/September time frame. Most courses require skills assessment for accurate class placement. Students previously assessed for a class need not be retested. For testing or placement, call Barbara Edwards 410-614-0273.

Project LINC (Ladders in Nursing Careers)
JHHSC/JHH is offering this special educational opportunity to full-time employees aspiring to become Registered Nurses. Project LINC II is designed primarily for employees who have the ability to pursue a professional healthcare career but are unable to do so due to financial and /or educational constraints. This program, which is offered twice a year only (Spring – January and Fall –August semesters) enables participants to attend school full-time and work part-time while maintaining full salary benefits.
Applications are reviewed on a case by case basis. While you can apply to the program while pursuing your pre-requisites, selection into the LINC program is like any other admission process. Individual acceptance is dependent upon the strength and competitiveness of the applicant pool and the numbers of available seats.
Additionally, this program has been designed to support individuals seeking a two (2) year nursing degree. In order to remain competitive with the applicant pool, applicants should have two (2) years of study to complete.
