Allied Health Access Guidebook


The Employment and Training Administration has announced the availability of the Allied Health Access (AHA!) Guidebook: How to Develop Programs for Youth in Allied Health Careers.

The intent of this Guidebook is to provide a useful tool for program planners as they begin to assess the potential for an allied health program in their area, develop a program, and implement a plan. In addition, a simple checklist is provided on the first page of the appendix that may prove useful to youth service providers and planners as they begin to think about what is needed to start an allied health program in their community.

The Guidebook has five sections:

What is Allied Health?
Description of the industry as well as the current and projected demand

Allied Health Occupations
Basic labor market information on specific occupations and various career pathways

Developing Programs for Youth in Allied Health Careers
Practical steps to creating a program in local areas

Appendix
