About Ameritech College of Healthcare:

A degree from Ameritech is a sign of excellence for hospitals and healthcare facilities. Focused exclusively on healthcare since 1979, Ameritech has built a reputation for producing graduates who are skillful, sought after and ready to succeed on day one.

Employee satisfaction is important at Ameritech College, and self-directed time off is an integral part of that sentiment which helps employees lead full and meaningful lives by supporting time away from work to pursue hobbies, projects and causes, be with family and friends, and recharge the body, mind and spirit.

In addition to our progressive philosophy on time off, we have eleven paid holidays where our campus is closed: New Years’ Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Pioneer Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Employee Development

Every employee partners with human resources to create a personal development plan and receive ongoing support to meet their goals. As a group we participate in ongoing training and development opportunities such as lunch-n-learns, book clubs, and quarterly special sessions.

We have a three-prong education assistance suite that offers tuition reimbursement, student loan assistance, and family member tuition reduction at Ameritech.
