Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s Employee Career Initiative supports BIDMC employees in attaining the academic skills they need to move forward in their careers. BIDMC offers free, on-site, pre-college courses in reading, math and English, and free, on-site science courses such as Biology and Anatomy & Physiology. BIDMC’s program is run in partnership with Bunker Hill Community College and employees receive credit at Bunker Hill for their coursework. In addition to the free courses, the Employee Career Initiative provides all employees access to a career and academic advisor who can help them plan to grow their careers. The program also offers on-site assessment of academic skills and access to tutors who are BIDMC employee volunteers. To date 1,484 employees have participated in this program.
