Phlebotomist
Phlebotomists are trained to draw blood from a patient for clinical or medical testing, transfusions, donations, or research. Apart from collecting blood, they must also ensure that all equipment is sanitary, label all samples accurately, provide proper storage and safe transportation for the samples, and observe strict safety protocols to avoid direct contact with the blood.

“Don't be afraid to pivot and do something different. Life is about utilizing your passion.”
Chad Tingen
Horry-Georgetown Technical College
ROI was very important to me. HGTC has provided me with a 2.5-year college degree for a very minimal investment. Job prospects in my industry are great, which puts me in a position to repay student loans quickly so I’m not still digging out from debt a decade down the road. I will be in a much better financial position without all the debt I would have incurred had I opted to go back to a four-year college.
