Here's an idea - you learn to be a health care professional and Covenant Health will help pay for it. If you want to begin a career in nursing or respiratory therapy, Covenant has a program to help you achieve your career goals.

HealthTraxx Education Assistance

Covenant Health (CH) provides education assistance to individuals who enroll in and successfully complete certain approved health care training programs. In exchange for the assistance provided, a commitment to work at Covenant Health is required with a year-for-year repayment.

HealthTraxx Programs

There are two programs designed to assist you financially while you attend school full-time. The HealthTraxx programs are:

HealthTraxx Tuition Reimbursement Plan
- Through Covenant Health's HealthTraxx program you can receive partial tuition reimbursement for each successfully completed semester of school from an approved program. CH will pay a total of $5,000 tuition reimbursement to students enrolled in a 1-year training program, $10,000 tuition reimbursement to students enrolled in 2-year programs.
HealthTraxx Work/School Plan
- If you are currently a CH employee, you can receive ‘extra pay' on your paycheck, plus employee benefits (vacation time, health insurance) while attending school full-time. If the student is a part-time employee and works less than 24 hours per week, the student will receive four additional hours of pay per week plus part-time employee benefits. Work an average of 24 hours per week and receive an additional eight hours of pay per week plus part-time employee benefits. If the student is a full-time employee, the student must be able to work an average between 24 hours per week and will receive an additional eight hours of pay per week plus full-time employee benefits.
