BCCC Receives $400K to Build Healthcare Pipeline Pre-Apprenticeship Program

 Officials at Bucks County Community College are proud to announce that the College has been awarded $400,000 through the PA Department of Labor and Industry to develop and implement a new Healthcare Pre-Apprenticeship Program. Bucks will partner with Drexel University, District 1199C, Bucks County Workforce and Economic Development Board, regional hospitals, and local medical practices to create a career-aligned registered pre-apprenticeship program. Bucks will provide free training and job placement services for two inaugural cohorts, graduating 24 pre-apprentices over the next year and a half. Graduates of the 12-week pre-apprenticeship program will receive recognized certifications in EKG tech, certified phlebotomy technician, CPR for healthcare providers, mental health first aid for fire/EMS, and child abuse recognition and reporting training, as well as a college certificate of completion and a pre-apprenticeship certificate. “We have received overwhelming support from the healthcare industry for this pre-apprenticeship program,” said Bucks President & CEO Patrick M. Jones. “Given the success of our pre-apprenticeships in other sectors, we are thrilled to be able to offer the education and training necessary for area residents to launch their allied health careers with jobs that are in high demand and pay family-sustaining wages.” The PA Department of Labor and Industry grant will afford Bucks’ Center for Workforce Development the opportunity to venture further into the healthcare sector and build upon the success Bucks has had in building pre-apprenticeships in manufacturing and the building trades. The state funding will enable the College to have a greater reach in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region resulting in providing increased enrollment and pathways to high-paying jobs and apprenticeships that are in high demand. The free 12-week career training programs will likely begin in early 2026 and be held Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the College’s Center for Advanced Technologies (CAT) on the Epstein Campus at Lower Bucks in Bristol. The CAT is a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility offering job seekers access to high-quality career training programs. Students will also have the opportunity to work with Drexel University, District 1199C, regional hospitals, employers, and apprenticeship programs in the industry. For more information about this program, contact Associate Vice President for Workforce Development Susan Herring at 267-685-4827 or susan.herring@bucks.edu.

Bucks County Community College Announces Two New Deans

College officials have announced that Carolina Blatt, Ph.D. has been hired as Dean of Arts and Communication and Jacqueline Burger has been named the Dean of Learning Resources and Bucks Online Dean of Arts and Communication Building on Bucks County Community College’s long history of leadership in the arts, Carolina Blatt, Ph.D. will join the College as the next Dean of Arts and Communication on June 2, 2025. Blatt is an arts administrator, art educator, and scholar who seeks to catalyze the arts within and beyond the classroom. She currently serves as a Program Coordinator and Instructor of Art Education at Rowan University’s College of Communication & Creative Arts.

Blatt is a noted lecturer and presenter. Her research has been published in scholarly journals including Arts Education Policy Review, The Journal of Learning Through the Arts, and International Journal of Education & the Arts. In addition to numerous awards and grants, she received the Higher Education Award from the Art Educators of New Jersey in 2021 and is a member of the National Art Educators Association’s 2022 cohort of School for Arts Leaders. Dr. Patrick M. Jones, President & CEO of Bucks County Community College said, “Dr. Blatt’s community-centric approach to arts and place-making, entrepreneurial spirit, and ability to inspire people artistically and with a vision for an arts-enriched future will help our students experience the world in authentic and organic ways that are not predetermined or prescribed.” Jones added, “I have no doubt that Dr. Blatt will help to build relationships and joint ventures with arts organizations, working artists, communities, and business leaders in order to advance the arts in the region.” With a dynamic community of more than 50 artists and scholars on faculty, the College’s School of Arts and Communication is a hub and nexus of the regional arts ecosystem.

The Department also supports the College’s open educational resources (OER) which have saved Bucks students more than $1 million in the 2023-2024 academic year. Bucks Online offers 33 fully online programs, and support to all students and faculty in a variety of technologies including the College’s learning management system. Burger, who possesses a strong entrepreneurial disposition, will play a crucial role in not only fostering innovation within an academic setting and collaboration within the College, but also cultivating relationships with universities, institutes, research centers, and corporations across the region in an era of rapid technological change. Burger has been serving as the College’s Interim Dean of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics since June 2024. She previously served as Associate Professor, Learning Technologies Liaison for 15 years, also at Bucks County Community College. She also has taught online computer science courses to first-year and guest students as well as a hybrid college orientation seminar to first-year students since 2014. “Dean Burger has repeatedly demonstrated her capacity for driving innovation during her service at the College and has been nationally active as an educational innovator,” said President & CEO Patrick M. Jones. “Her creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and systematic approach to problem solving will help the College navigate a rapidly changing technology landscape, evolving needs of learners, and changing modalities of literacy. With her leadership, the College will be at the forefront of educational innovation that supports student success.” "I am excited to continue serving Bucks County Community College in a new capacity, bringing 15 years of experience to the role of Dean of Learning Resources and Bucks Online. I look forward to collaborating with an exceptional team dedicated to advancing our mission and enriching the student experience." Burger has presented at the Middle States Commission for Higher Education Annual Conference, the Northeast Regional Computing Program Conference, and EDUCAUSE’s ELI Annual Conference, a premier event for higher education teaching and learning professionals covering a range of topics including efficient institutional self-appraisal, strategic partnership and leadership team models, and creative faculty collaborations for information and digital media literacy programs.
