NECC Announces Sleep Technology Open House
Interested in a career in health care? Consider attending the open house for Northern Essex Community College’s Sleep Technologist Certificate Program which will be held on Thursday, March 26th from 5 to 8 p.m. in the El-Hefni Allied Health and Technology Center, 414 Common Street, Lawrence.
Those attending will learn about the daily tasks and challenges associated with the sleep technology profession, as well as have the opportunity to observe full patient set ups and laboratory preparation techniques. Current students and faculty members will be available to answer questions about the program and career opportunities in the field and give tours of NECC’s new sleep technology center.
In recent years, careers in sleep technology have grown by a rate of nearly 30 percent within the high-demand healthcare industry. Northern Essex Community College developed its 28-credit certificate program in response to this trend, offering its students hands-on instruction in the evaluation, treatment, and diagnosis of sleep disorders.
