Bridge to Employment

The goal of this pilot program, a partnership between JEVS Human Services and Einstein Healthcare Network, is to place youth on a path leading to career opportunities, financial stability, and personal fulfillment in the health care field.

Participants of Bridge to Employment were identified by school guidance counselors at Kensington Health Sciences Academy and YouthBuild as individuals who, although facing adversity in their life and home situation, show strong potential for overcoming challenges and making the most of all the opportunities being offered through the program.

Upon completing JEVS’s two-month comprehensive educational and skills training phase, then a month-long, hands-on externship experience at Einstein, these eager young adults are placed into entry-level positions as patient services representatives throughout Einstein’s network of medical facilities. The program prepared them to be well-rounded and effectively serve as the first-point-of-contact for patients upon entering the facility by covering related soft skills, customer service know-how, and topics of instruction including insurance, medical terminology, ethics/HIPAA regulations, medical office database, office essentials, and more.
