NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — On this edition of Tiempo, we catch up with one local school that is on a mission to mentor the next generation of licensed caregivers.
The Ideal School of Allied Health Care on Long Island prepares people for jobs like medical assistants and much more.
The school offers classes in Spanish, and Tiempo has featured the institution before. The institution was founded more than a decade ago by a registered nurse who saw a shortage of caregivers, which impacts the quality of service for patients.
School administrators collaborated with Local 1199 to create the Community Pathways Training Program. The program pays for nearly all the tuition at the school.
Joining us to discuss is Nicole Laborde, CEO and founder of the Ideal School of Allied Health Care, and current students Karla Rubio and Leandro Rodriguez.
Also on our program, more on “¡Wepa!: Puerto Ricans in the World of Comics.”
It’s an exhibit that highlights the great Boricua legends in comics history. Three decades of comic book collections are currently on display at the New York Public Library.
The exhibit is the largest collection of Puerto Rican comic book creators.
Tiempo airs Sunday mornings at 11:30 on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
