Become a Dental Assistant Apprentice

Are you ready to start your career in healthcare? Joining one of Jordan Valley Health’s Department of Labor registered apprenticeships is a great way to start.

During your apprenticeship, you’ll learn form an instructor with experience in the field and will have hands-on experience with patients in our clinics so you can apply what you’ve learned in the real world.

When you complete your apprenticeship program, you’ll have the certification you need to move into a full-time role at Jordan Valley Health, and after fulfilling your two-year commitment, you’ll be debt free!
