UPMC Health Plan recently held their second graduation ceremony for their Freedom House 2.0 training program. Both the training and ceremony took place at Hosanna House in Wilkinsburg and included a cohort of 10 students.
Graduates pictured are, from top left: Lorin Demun, Jonathan Moss, Trevon Epps, Brandon McQuade, Kenneth Hickey; and bottom row, from left: Keivonne Williams, Rayquel Pack, Asia Strader, Deshay Allen, Khadiyjah Cook.
The program allows individuals to jumpstart a health career in as little as 10 weeks and includes paid training and mentorship.
Four of the graduates have already been offered employment with UPMC.
