SUPPORT TEAM
We at Futuro Health want to help support you as you make your way through your program of study. We have put together a support team that will be with you every step of the way. The first person on the team? You!
Futuro Health Scholar (You)
Be accountable. This is ultimately your education and career so take ownership, understand requirements, and engage with your scholar team along the way.
Be proactive. Keep your phone number and email address current on your Futuro Health Portal so your scholar support team can reach you.
Be engaged. Regularly log into your Futuro Health Portal and your Education Provider Portal. Check your email and phone for important messages and updates.
Be organized. Review the average class hours and study hours that will be required of you in your program and create a plan to be successful.
Be prepared. Review in-person requirements (if applicable) for your program and make arrangements in advance to fulfill those. (For example, Externship/Clinicals/Labs.)
Be resourceful. Reach out the moment you have questions or need help. Don’t wait until the last minute.
Futuro Health Success Coach
Your Success Coach will connect with you after you have been approved to participate in Futuro Health.
Your Success Coach will work with you through the next steps of enrolling in a program.
Your Success Coach will provide you with program information, contact information, and other resources key to your success.
Your Success Coach will be your point person as you prepare to start your program and will continue through at least the first six months of your program.
Your Success Coach will support your ongoing success, provide individualized coaching and goal setting, and work with you to celebrate wins and overcome obstacles.
As an adult scholar, you’re juggling a lot outside of school. Your Success Coach can provide support with time management strategies to ensure you have an effective plan to complete your program successfully.
If you start to feel unusually stressed or overwhelmed, your Success Coach can connect you with a crisis support specialist. Whether you’re struggling with food or housing insecurity, financial issues, anxiety, grief, personal safety concerns, or simply high stress due to the amount of responsibility you may have in your home life, please ask for help. You are not alone on this journey.
Education Provider (School)
Futuro Health is NOT the entity providing the education. Participants who are accepted will be able to attend tuition-free thanks to Futuro Health scholarships.
Scholars will need to complete an application and enrollment process with the educational provider, in addition to the process scholar complete at Futuro Health. Acceptance to Futuro Health does not guarantee acceptance to the college.
The education provider will be the primary point-of-contact two-weeks prior to a scholar’s start date and throughout the duration of the program or course.
The education provider is the expert on the program curriculum and can answer questions specific to the job and the healthcare industry.
The education provider can answer questions about coursework, grades, submitting assignments, missed assignments, passing/failing, reasonable accommodations, missing class, tutoring support, etc. (For example: If a scholar misses a class or wants to ask for an extension on an assignment, they need to contact the instructor and/or other scholar support contacts at the school).
The Educational Provider will award you a certificate (if applicable) upon successful completion of the program.
The Educational Provider is a great resource for job preparation and job placement. Programs that require externship/clinicals provide hands-on experience – the externship team could help a scholar land a job, and be a great resource for future job searches.
