The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that social and human services workers held about 352,000 jobs in 2004, and over half of those positions were in the healthcare and social assistance industries. As healthcare employers tend to favor applicants with some form of postsecondary education, prospective human services employees should enroll in accredited healthcare and human services programs. During your schooling, you can receive healthcare training in patient observation, interviewing methods, and crisis intervention. Typically, you can choose a training specialization, such as addiction, child protection, or gerontology. Since human services careers demand personal interactions, healthcare programs in human services typically attract empathic students with strong communication skills and a keen interest in healthcare.
