ACHS Grads and Alumni: Reaching for the Stars to Heal the World

Written by Dorene Petersen, ACHS Founding President | Nov 7, 2013 1:01:00 AM

As an educator, watching my students achieve their goals is an immense joy. Completing a certificate, diploma, or degree in holistic healthcare is an outstanding accomplishment, and it is something to take pride in and celebrate. Here at ACHS, our job doesn’t stop at commencement. We care about the long-term success of our students and alumni, and we continue to look out for them long after graduation. One of the ways we do that is through our free Alumni Success Coaching Program. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to hone your skills and create a smooth transition into your desired career field—whether that’s searching for a new job, starting a career, or opening your own business. The program is facilitated by ACHS CIO and NAT 306 instructor, Erika Yigzaw. You’ll receive specific coaching in:

  • Industry Exams, Registration, and Insurance
  • Social media
  • Websites
  • Networking
  • Continuing education
  • Blogging 

Learning to adapt the knowledge and skills you’ve gained at ACHS into your specific holistic health industry field will set you on a successful career path and help you realize your dreams. If you’d like to learn more about this program, visit our ACHS Alumni Benefits page here

Harriet Tubman once said: “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” I couldn’t be more proud of our students, and that’s why I’d also like to take a moment and recognize all the recent ACHS graduates. You’ve studied hard and worked fiercely to reach this milestone, and you should be extremely proud. Keep dreaming; keep persevering; and you’ll heal the world with your passion for holistic health. Congratulations on your achievement!
