Indianapolis, Ind. –Despite a shrinking U.S. economy and unemployment rates approaching 10 percent, 16 of the 30 fastest growing jobs are in the healthcare industry. An increasing number of adults are looking to enter the expanding healthcare field and many are benefiting from online education through The College Network™ which enables participants to accelerate their path towards achieving a valuable college degree or professional certificate. Through the use of Comprehensive Learning Modules™ customers are given the tools to test out of college courses without having to attend class on campus.
