Matching Client Strengths with In-Demand Healthcare Careers

Published on

Finding the right job training for your clients can be challenging. Not only do you have to consider funding eligibility, but you also need to find a program that matches their strengths and the local job market. This is even more challenging in an uncertain economy. But healthcare is one of the most reliable industries in terms of job growth. Certifications can lead to fast placements and lay the foundation for career advancement.

Some of your clients may initially recoil at the thought of working in healthcare, particularly if they’re squeamish. But the field is so expansive that there’s a role for almost every interest and personality type.

In-Demand Healthcare Careers for Different Personality Types

If your clients are interested in the stability and pay of a healthcare career but aren’t sure what jobs would be a good fit for them, consider how to leverage their current skills and interests

Good With People

Going to the doctor or hospital can be a nerve-wracking experience.  Clients who enjoy interacting with people and putting others at ease could be ideal for jobs such as a medical assistant or a patient care tech. In these roles, they’ll help calm nerves and reassure anxious patients while providing high-quality care. 

Detail-Oriented

If your clients have a knack for crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s, they may thrive in a career such as a coding specialist or health unit coordinator. In these fields, they’ll be responsible for handling critical information, including communication between doctors, nurses and patients, and filling out paperwork for insurance claims. 

Calm Under Pressure

Clients who are unflappable and can stay calm even in high-pressure situations may be well-suited to work as an EKG technician or phlebotomist. They’ll be working directly with patients, sometimes in emergency situations. Healthcare organizations will always need skilled, competent people who can work decisively and with urgency. 

Tech-Savvy

Information technology (IT) is another booming industry that’s growing even as many other sectors stagnate. Combining IT and healthcare can open up many opportunities for clients who enjoy working with tech. Working in healthcare IT or electronic health records can be the first step in a long and rewarding IT career.
